How do I use an antique tea table today?

These tables adapt easily to modern rooms as lamp stands, bedside surfaces or compact side tables. Their modest footprints make them practical for holding drinks or displaying books. Fold-over versions provide an expandable surface when entertaining guests, while trolleys offer mobile storage for glassware and bottles.

How do I tell an 18th-century table from a later copy?

Examine the underside and the joints for the tool marks and construction methods of the period. Hand-cut peg joints, timber shrinkage and authentic wear patterns indicate genuine age. Later Edwardian and revival pieces often display machine-cut components, standardised screws and cleaner internal surfaces that lack centuries of patination.

How do I care for antique oak surfaces?

Keep wooden furniture away from direct heat sources and drastic humidity changes to prevent the timber from splitting. Regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth preserves the finish. Feed the oak occasionally with traditional beeswax to maintain the natural lustre and protect the grain without building up synthetic residues.
