FAQs

Tilt-top tables gained popularity during the Georgian era in eighteenth-century Britain. They were designed with a hinged mechanism allowing the tabletop to tilt vertically, enabling households to store the table flat against a wall to clear space in multi-functional living rooms.

Primary woods commonly included solid mahogany, walnut, or oak, chosen for their durability and grain pattern. The central column was typically turned on a lathe, supported by three dovetailed legs and held in the horizontal position by a brass tilt catch or bearer block.

Authentic period examples often feature hand-sawn tool marks beneath the tabletop, hand-forged iron or brass catches, and legs attached to the base of the column via sliding dovetail joints. Natural shrinkage across the timber grain over centuries can also result in slight ovaling of turned elements.

These versatile tables function efficiently as side tables adjacent to an armchair or sofa. When not in active use, the top can be tilted vertically to display the timber grain and positioned in an alcove, corner, or hallway.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage, cracking, or uneven fading.
