FAQs

An Irish wake table, also known as a hunt table, is a long, oval drop-leaf table originally created in Ireland during the eighteenth century. Design specifications required the central fixed board to match the width of a coffin, allowing the table to be used during traditional wakes as well as for formal dining.

Georgian wake tables were predominantly crafted from dense Cuban or Honduran mahogany, chosen for its structural stability and deep grain. The drop leaves are attached via rule joints and held in position by wooden gateleg mechanisms hinged directly to the frame.

Authentic George III tables feature hand-sawn timber marks on the undersides, hand-cut dovetail joints, and original iron or brass strap hinges. The timber typically displays natural oxidisation and a deep, aged patination that cannot be replicated by modern staining methods.

A wake table can be placed along a wide hallway or against a wall with its leaves lowered when not in use as a side table. When extended for dining, pairing the classic dark mahogany wood with modern upholstered chairs creates a balanced contrast in contemporary settings.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a dry microfiber cloth and applying beeswax every six to twelve months in the direction of the wood grain. Keep the table away from direct heat sources, radiators, and strong sunlight to prevent warping and timber shrinkage.
