FAQs

Originating in the 18th century during the reign of King George III, pie crust tilt-top tea tables were designed for formal tea drinking ceremonies. The term pie crust refers to the raised, hand-carved scalloped moulding along the perimeter of the circular top, while the tilt-top mechanism allowed the table to be stored vertically against a wall when not in use.

Dense Cuban or West Indian mahogany was the primary timber used by Georgian cabinetmakers due to its stability, deep grain structure, and suitability for fine carving. Construction featured a hand-turned central pillar, dovetail-fitted tripod legs, and iron or brass spring catches.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut joinery, asymmetrical hand-carving along the pie crust rim, and natural timber shrinkage over time that often makes the top slightly out of round. Examining the underside reveals hand-planed surfaces, original metal catches, and historical wear patterns.

A Georgian tilt-top table functions effectively as an occasional table beside an armchair or within a room alcove. Displayed with the top tilted vertically, the decorative timber grain and carved rim act as a visual focal point in contemporary or traditional spaces.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage and timber bleaching. Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish annually to nourish the wood and maintain the original patination.
