FAQs

A Victorian tilt top table, often called a snap top table, features a hinged mechanism that allows the circular wooden top to be tilted vertically for compact storage against a wall when not in use.

These pieces were typically crafted from solid timbers such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, often featuring a central turned pillar supported by three cabriole or splayed legs.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period construction techniques such as hand-cut dovetails, traditional wooden catches for the tilting mechanism, and natural patina consistent with age and wear.

An antique tilt top table can serve as an occasional side table next to a sofa or armchair, providing a functional surface while adding historical character and warmth to modern living spaces.

Preserve the finish by keeping the table away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the wood.
