The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Pembroke table is a light, portable drop-leaf table introduced in the 18th century, named after the Countess of Pembroke. It features two folding leaves supported by hinged wooden brackets and typically includes a frieze drawer, designed for dining, writing, or tea service.

These tables were primarily crafted from fine hardwoods such as mahogany, satinwood, and walnut. Construction featured hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, brass drop handles, and brass castors attached to tapered or turned legs.

Authentic Georgian Pembroke tables exhibit hand-planed surfaces, irregular dovetail joints inside drawers, rule joints along the hinged drop leaves, and original iron or wooden fly brackets beneath the flaps.

Position the table beside a sofa or in an entryway with the leaves folded down to function as a compact side table. Top it with contemporary ceramic lamps, framed artwork, or structural floral displays to contrast historic woodwork with modern accents.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and applying beeswax polish once or twice a year in the direction of the wood grain. Avoid placing the table near heat sources or in direct sunlight to prevent cracking and fading.
