What woods were used on art deco veneer tables?

Makers utilised a variety of decorative timbers, most notably walnut, burr walnut, satinwood, birch, and maple. These woods were chosen for their distinct grain patterns. Secondary woods formed the sturdy internal frames beneath the decorative outer layers.

How do I care for a veneered surface?

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and excessive heat sources to prevent the thin timber layers from drying out or lifting. Use dry cloths for dusting rather than harsh chemical polishes. Applying occasional wax preserves the finish and protects the historic polish from moisture damage.

Are these tables suitable for daily use?

Most pieces were built for practical domestic environments, functioning as dining surfaces, desks, or bedside stands. Using coasters and protective mats prevents heat rings and scratches on the polished wood. With sensible handling, these vintage surfaces withstand normal everyday activities quite well.

What is the difference between occasional and coffee tables?

Occasional tables generally stand taller and serve multiple small-scale functions around a room, such as holding lamps or decorative objects. Coffee tables are lower, designed specifically to sit centrally in front of seating. Both types utilise decorative veneers to catch the eye.
