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.

A coaching table is a portable, folding table designed originally in the 18th and 19th centuries to be stowed in horse-drawn carriages and deployed during travel stops for meals, writing, or playing cards.

These tables were typically crafted from dense hardwoods like mahogany or oak to handle frequent folding, often featuring brass hinges and sometimes inset with baize or leather playing surfaces.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut joinery, original brass folding mechanisms, turned or reeded wooden stretchers, and natural wear along the scissor-action joints.

A folding coaching table works well as an occasional side table beside a armchair, in a hallway alcove, or folded away when not in use for casual games.

Keep the wood nourished with natural beeswax polish, avoid placing hot or wet objects directly on the surface, and brush the baize gently with a soft textile brush to remove dust.
