How do I identify a Regency table?

Regency tables typically employ rosewood or mahogany with precise brass stringing and inlay, reflecting classical English design influences from the early nineteenth century. They frequently appear as card tables, sofa tables, and occasional tables with pillar and claw feet.

Where should I place a console table?

Console tables sit flush against a wall in hallways, drawing rooms, or dining spaces, often positioned beneath a mirror or painting. Their shallow depth allows them to occupy narrow areas while offering a surface for display.

How do fold over tables work?

Fold-over tables feature a hinged top that opens out to double the surface area, supported by a swinging leg or rotating frieze. This mechanism allowed nineteenth-century households to convert small console tables into card or games tables as needed.
