How do I distinguish Georgian from Victorian tables?

Georgian tables generally exhibit restrained classical proportions, simpler mahogany or oak construction, and clean structural lines. The decoration relies on subtle veneers and understated hardware rather than heavy carving. Victorian pieces often display bolder forms, darker finishes, and more elaborate turnings like barley twists or bobbin legs. Introduction of pine washstands and walnut serving tables also characterises the later nineteenth-century output.

What is the purpose of a table gallery?

A gallery rail adds a decorative raised border around the perimeter of a table or desk top. Historically, this prevented decorative objects, toilet items or writing materials from falling. On hall tables and washstands, the gallery also provides an architectural frame that accentuates the proportions of the piece. Buyers often seek out gallery tables for their distinctive silhouette.

How do I care for antique wood surfaces?

Maintain timber surfaces by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding modern silicone-based polishes. Occasional application of a quality beeswax helps nourish the grain without buildup. Keep tables away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent timber splitting and veneer lifting. Marble-topped pieces require gentle wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap.
