FAQs

The Charles II period, spanning the late seventeenth century, is characterised by the Restoration of the monarchy, bringing a more lavish and decorative aesthetic to British furniture design featuring turned woodwork and native timbers like oak.

These tables were constructed primarily from solid native English or Scottish oak, joined using traditional pegged mortise and tenon joints, with hinged drop leaves supported by swing-out gate legs.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate tool marks, hand-turned legs with distinct bobbin or baluster profiles, timber shrinkage consistent with age, and construction methods utilizing wooden pegs rather than modern metal screws.

Pairing a historic oak table with contemporary minimalist seating creates a striking juxtaposition that highlights the rich texture and historic patina of the timber without overwhelming the room.

Maintain antique oak by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber splitting, applying microcrystalline wax periodically, and avoiding silicone-based polishes.
