FAQs

A Georgian Manx table is an 18th-century tripod table characterized by three base legs carved in the likeness of human legs wearing stockings or footwear, referencing the triskelion symbol of the Isle of Man. They feature a circular top that tilts vertically via a catch mechanism.

These tables were primarily crafted from solid dense mahogany, featuring hand-turned central pedestals and carved legs joined with hand-cut dovetails or mortise and tenon joints, finished with a brass catch mechanism.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved details with subtle irregularities, original brass tilt catches, hand-cut iron or steel screws, and natural timber shrinkage across the circular grain.

Tilt-top tables work well as occasional side tables beside seating, or placed in an alcove or corner with the top secured vertically to display the natural wood grain and carved base.

Clean the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish annually. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and excessive humidity changes to prevent timber cracking.
