This nineteenth-century tilt-top table originates from Sweden and follows a Georgian design. The piece is constructed from masur birch with an ebonised ring, boxwood stringing, and a mahogany base, finished in a warm brown colour. Details visible include a circular top with burr veneer, a turned central pedestal, and three cabriole legs ending in pad feet. The tilt-top mechanism allows the table to stand in a vertical position when not in use. The dimensions are 74 cm high, 89 cm wide, and 89 cm deep. In a modern interior, this versatile table suits placement in an empty corner as a decorative accent or display surface. When the top is returned to the horizontal position, it functions as a small occasional table for a living room, hallway, or study. The compact tripod base ensures it fits comfortably in smaller spaces while providing a stable foundation. The natural wood grain patterns and contrasting dark border create a distinct focal point in traditional or eclectic home settings.

FAQs

A tilt top tripod table is a compact surface featuring a three-legged pedestal base and a hinged circular top that flips vertically for storage when not in use. Popularised in 18th-century Britain, these tables were primarily used for serving tea or wine in formal receiving rooms.

These tables were typically built using solid hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut for the legs and central column, while the top surface was decorated with burr veneer cut from tree growths displaying intricate grain patterns. Hinges and catch mechanisms were formed from cast brass or iron.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut joinery on the catch block, original metal tilt mechanisms, and hand-turned detailing on the central pedestal. Genuine antique tables often exhibit irregular underside carving, hand-planed surfaces, and natural timber oxidisation on the tripod base.

Place the table alongside an armchair or in a room corner to display decorative ceramics, books, or a table lamp. The table top can also be tilted vertically against a wall to showcase the natural figure of the burr grain when additional floor space is required.

Dust the surface regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish periodically to protect the timber finish. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent veneer lifting or surface warping.
