FAQs

A Georgian birdcage table is an eighteenth-century tilt-top table constructed with a wooden block mechanism resembling a cage beneath the tabletop. This mechanism allows the circular top to rotate horizontally as well as tilt vertically for placement against a wall when not in use.

These tables were primarily crafted from dense mahogany, featuring turned central pillars, hand-dovetailed leg joints, and hand-forged catch hardware. The birdcage block consists of two square wooden platforms joined by four turned pillars to enable both swivelling and tilting functions.

Authentic pieces feature hand-planed undersides, hand-cut dovetail housings where the legs join the pedestal stem, and original iron or brass tilt latches. Timber shrinkage over time often creates subtle oval distortion in the circular top, indicating genuine period age.

Position the piece as an occasional table beside a sofa or reading chair, or tilt the top vertically to display decorative timber grain in a hallway or alcove. Combining dark Georgian mahogany with contemporary upholstery creates visual contrast in minimalist or traditional settings.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and applying beeswax sparingly once or twice a year along the grain. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage, warping, or fading.
