This Edwardian side table dates from 1900 and exemplifies an English country house style in warm brown mahogany with brass fittings. The piece combines a central rectangular top with a moulded edge and scalloped corners, supported by straight square legs linked by lower stretchers. Two folding circular tiered cake stands mount to the sides via articulated brass hardware, providing a compact footprint measuring 68 cm high, 51 cm wide and 38 cm deep. Suitable for use at the end of a sofa or in a corner, the table accommodates tea service or display items with its pivoting tiers that fold away when space is limited. The timber shows a polished grain finish across the flat surfaces and round trays, presenting an unusual configuration that merges occasional table design with tiered cake stand functionality.

FAQs

A cake stand table, often designed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is a specialized piece of occasional furniture created to serve cakes, pastries, and tea sandwiches. It features a main tabletop alongside additional folding or fixed circular tiers to provide multi-level presentation in a compact format.

Tables from this period were predominantly crafted from solid woods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, often finished with deep stains and shellac polish. Mechanical elements, such as hinges for folding tier supports, were constructed from cast brass or iron.

Authentic period examples demonstrate traditional joinery techniques, such as hand-cut mortise and tenon joints, along with period-appropriate brass hardware and natural wear around the moving folding mechanisms. The wood polish should show genuine age-related patination rather than synthetic modern coatings.

These versatile side tables function well as end tables alongside a sofa or armchair. The folding side tiers can be extended to support potted plants, books, or decorative ceramics, or folded down when space-saving efficiency is required.

Dust the surfaces regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, buffing gently along the grain, and avoid placing hot items or water vessels directly onto the timber without protective mats.
