FAQs

The Pembroke table originated in the 18th century during the Georgian period, traditionally believed to be named after Henry Herbert, the 9th Earl of Pembroke. It was designed as a versatile, small-scale occasional table featuring hinged flaps that could be raised or lowered to save space.

Georgian tables were predominantly constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or satinwood, often featuring hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers and fine veneers. Brass hardware, such as drop handles and castors, was commonly utilised to enhance both utility and aesthetic appeal.

Authentication involves examining construction methods, such as the presence of hand-sawn timber marks, period-appropriate brass fittings, and natural timber ageing like oxidation and shrinkage. Genuine pieces typically exhibit traditional joinery without modern machine-made screws or particle board.

A classic piece like a Pembroke table functions effectively as an occasional desk, a bedside surface, or a compact accent table placed beside a sofa. Its warm wood tones and slender profile provide a sophisticated contrast when paired with modern seating and minimalist decor.

Antique timber should be kept away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and drastic humidity fluctuations to prevent splitting or warping. Regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth and occasional applications of microcrystalline wax help maintain the natural lustre of the wood finish.
