How do I use a tilt top table?

The top releases via an under-table brass catch or wooden wedge, allowing the surface to pivot flat against the pillar for compact storage. Once upright, the mechanism locks securely so the table functions as a standard dining or centre piece without wobbling.

What is a loo table used for?

These large circular tables originally served for playing the nineteenth-century card game loo in grand drawing rooms. Today they function primarily as substantial centre tables or informal dining surfaces in larger reception spaces.

How do I tell Regency from Victorian pieces?

Regency and George IV examples tend to show cleaner classical lines, bold brass inlay, and restrained mahogany or rosewood veneers. Victorian pieces frequently introduce heavier floral carving, elaborate marquetry inlay, and more ornate pedestal bases.

Can I use these for everyday dining?

Many of these pieces were built as breakfast or dining tables, making them sturdy enough for daily meals when paired with appropriate care. Using heat mats and protective covers helps preserve the delicate French polished rosewood surfaces from moisture and marks.
