FAQs

An early 18th-century oak side table is a utility piece characterized by solid English oak construction, peg joinery, and turned baluster legs. Made during the late XVII and early XVIII centuries, these tables often incorporate rectangular tops with subtle moulded edges and perimeter box stretchers for stability.

Period oak side tables were built from solid native hardwoods, primarily English oak. Craftspeople utilised mortise and tenon joints secured with wooden pegs (trunnels), hand-planed tabletop boards, and hand-turned legs shaped on a pole lathe without modern adhesives or metal screws.

Authentic pieces feature visible wooden pegs extending slightly from the joints, irregular hand-planed undersides, and natural shrinkage across the grain of the wood top. Look for genuine wear on the lower stretchers from centuries of foot placement, along with a deep, layered patina that cannot be replicated by modern staining.

Position the table beside contemporary upholstered seating to create a balanced textural contrast between dark timber and soft fabrics. It also serves effectively in an entryway or hallway as a standalone accent surface paired with modern art or minimalist lighting.

Dust the wood regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the patina. Maintain stable indoor humidity levels and keep the timber clear of direct heat sources or prolonged sunlight to prevent cracking.
