FAQs

A Regency breakfast table is a 19th-century circular or oval table designed with a central pedestal and a tilt-top mechanism. This mechanism allows the tabletop to pivot vertically when not in use, enabling efficient storage along the perimeter of a room in early British homes.

Regency tilt-top tables were constructed using native and imported hardwoods, most notably burr elm, mahogany, rosewood, and oak. Highly figured timber veneers were applied to the primary surface, supported by solid timber pedestals and cast brass hardware.

Authentic Regency pieces feature hand-cut timber veneers, brass catch mechanisms mounted to the underside of the top, and original castors on carved feet. The underside typically shows hand-planed secondary timbers and natural age-related wear around the tilt latch.

A Regency tilt-top table can serve as a focal point in an entrance hall or foyer when tilted upright to display the natural wood grain pattern. Alternatively, it can be styled as a compact dining table combined with contemporary or period seating.

Preserve burr elm veneer by applying a high-quality beeswax polish twice a year in the direction of the grain. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent the timber veneer from drying out or lifting.
