What is an antique fringed table?

An antique fringed table is typically a Victorian or Edwardian occasional or side table featuring fabric drapery and trim along the edges. These pieces bring soft textile textures into interior spaces. They often take the form of gypsy tables draped in velvet or silk, combining turned wooden frames with decorative borders.

How do I care for velvet on old tables?

Velvet surfaces require gentle brushing with a soft-bristled brush to maintain the pile and remove dust. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners on antique textiles. Keeping these tables away from direct sunlight helps preserve the original colour of the fabric and fringe.

What periods do these pieces come from?

The pieces listed span from the nineteenth century through the Edwardian era and into the 1920s. Common periods include the Victorian age and the early twentieth century. Design styles reflect aesthetic movements, Neoclassical revivals, and early Art Deco influences.

Are fringed lamps included here?

Yes, standard lamps, table lamps, and oil lamps with fringed fabric or beaded shades appear alongside the tables. These lighting pieces share the same period materials and decorative motifs. Many incorporate brass columns, marble bases, or gilt bronze mounts from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
