What timbers were commonly used in 17th-century table construction?

Oak was the primary wood utilized during this era, though native fruitwoods, walnut, and dense timbers like yew were also favored for specialized furniture making.

How do you style a 17th-century side table in modern rooms?

Position the piece as an accent table alongside contemporary upholstered furniture to create a balanced contrast between modern textures and dark historic timber.

How should aged yew and oak furniture be maintained?

Dust the surface regularly with a dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to preserve the timber and existing patination.
