How do I clean brass inlaid furniture?

Maintain the timber and metal by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh modern polishes that can discolour the metal. Apply a traditional microcrystalline wax sparingly to nourish the wood without allowing moisture to seep beneath the brass inlay.

Are these tables suitable for daily use?

Many card tables and occasional pieces were built for functional entertaining and remain sturdy enough for gentle modern living. Protect delicate rosewood and satinwood surfaces from excessive heat and direct sunlight to prevent the brass lines from lifting.

How can I tell Regency from Victorian pieces?

Regency items typically favour crisp brass stringing against dark rosewood with classical proportions and restrained mounts. Victorian pieces often introduce heavier burr walnut veneers, ebonised finishes, and more ornate marquetry alongside the traditional brass work.

What is Cairene furniture?

Cairene pieces are distinct tables and stands featuring heavy brass inlay combined with copper and white metal in openwork Islamic designs. These items arrived through nineteenth and early twentieth-century trade, offering a different material palette from standard British cabinetmaking.
