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

Constructed during the reign of King George IV (18201830), these tables typically feature fold-over tops, central supporting pedestals, and decorative veneers such as birdseye maple or rosewood, serving both as decorative consoles and surfaces for serving tea or playing cards.

Craftsmen favored highly figured timbers including birdseye maple, rosewood, mahogany, and satinwood. These were often combined with cast brass fittings, castors, and intricate hand-carved details along the legs and pedestal base.

Authentic pieces display period-correct construction techniques, including hand-sawn veneers, hand-cut dovetail joints on internal frieze compartments, original brass hinges, and natural uneven timber shrinkage along the underside.

Position the table folded against a wall as a hall console or within a bay window. The contrasting light maple and dark rosewood veneers create a strong visual focal point that complements both traditional and modern minimalist decor.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade natural beeswax twice a year to nourish the timber. Avoid placement in direct sunlight or near radiator heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
