FAQs

Antique oak side tables were traditionally crafted for domestic use in British homes, evolving from heavy joined furniture to lighter occasional pieces during the 17th and 18th centuries.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid English oak using traditional joinery methods such as mortise and tenon joints, hand-cut dovetails for drawers, and wooden pegs.

Authenticity is identified by examining tool marks, hand-carved details, timber oxidisation, shrinkage cracks, and period-appropriate hardware such as brass drop handles and escutcheons.

An antique oak table adds warmth and texture to contemporary spaces, serving as a functional bedside table, a hallway surface, or a contrasting accent piece next to clean-lined upholstery.

Preserve the timber by keeping it away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and maintain the finish using microcrystalline wax rather than modern silicone-based polishes.
