FAQs

Introduced in the late 18th century and popularized during the Regency period, sofa tables were designed to sit directly behind a sofa, providing a surface for writing, reading, or serving tea.

High-quality 19th-century examples were predominantly fashioned from dense woods such as rosewood and mahogany, featuring solid brass castors, hand-carved pedestal supports, and beaded borders.

Authentic pieces feature period construction characteristics, including hand-cut dovetail joints on short drawers, original brass castors on quad-form legs, and natural wood oxidation on untreated undersides.

A sofa table functions effectively positioned along the back of a freestanding couch, within a foyer as an entryway console, or against a living room wall flanked by decorative lamps.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to avoid fading, wipe surfaces with a soft dry microfibre cloth, and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax polish annually.
