How do I use a Burmese table at home?

These tables function well as occasional surfaces beside seating or as display stands for lamps and objects. Their rich wood tones pair effectively with both traditional and modern interiors. Smaller side tables and tilt-top versions move easily between rooms as needed. Console tables and tiered buffets anchor hallways or living spaces while offering practical surface area.

What periods do these pieces come from?

The listings consist primarily of nineteenth-century items, spanning decades from the eighteen-forties through the Victorian era. Many pieces date from the eighteen-seventies, eighties, and nineties. Dates rely on recorded stylistic markers and period attribution. Colonial expansion during the nineteenth century drove the creation and export of these carved teak objects.

How do I tell different styles apart?

Burmese vernacular and village pieces often show simpler painted finishes and rustic construction. Anglo-Burmese and colonial items tend to blend local motifs with familiar British table forms. Look at the leg design and edge profiling for clues. Elephant leg supports and deep figural carving indicate specific regional workshops rather than standard British production.

Are these tables solid teak?

Most pieces utilise heavy teak and allied hardwoods for their main structural components. Some items incorporate auxiliary materials like bone or bronze for decorative effect. The weight of the timber is a reliable indicator of solid construction. Dense grain patterns run throughout the primary surfaces and carved elements.
