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.

Originating in the eighteenth century, dish top tripod tables were designed as versatile occasional furniture for holding candles, tea services, or wine glasses. The raised edge was specifically turned on a lathe to prevent liquid spills or delicate porcelain from slipping off the surface.

These tables were typically crafted from solid timbers such as mahogany, walnut, or oak. The central column was turned on a lathe, while the three cabriole legs were hand-fitted into a blind dovetail joint at the base of the pedestal for stability.

Look for hand-carved dovetail joints where the tripod legs join the base of the column, along with uneven lathe marks underneath the top surface. Authentic pieces often demonstrate natural shrinkage of the wood across the grain, making the circular top slightly oval over time.

Place the table beside a sofa or reading chair to act as an occasional drinks stand or support for a table lamp. Its compact tripod footprint makes it ideal for smaller spaces or alcoves where larger side tables would obstruct foot traffic.

Regularly dust the wood using a clean, soft microfibre cloth. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the original patina, ensuring the table is kept away from direct heat sources and long periods of strong sunlight.
