Where should I place a demilune table?

These tables suit narrow entrance halls, landings, or living rooms where floor space is limited. Their flat rear edge allows them to sit flush against the wall. They also function effectively beneath mirrors or artwork as display surfaces for lamps and decorative objects.

How do I identify the wood type?

Examine the grain pattern and colour under natural light to distinguish between mahogany, walnut, and exotic veneers. Mahogany tends to display a reddish-brown tone with straight grain, whilst walnut shows darker figuring. Burr walnut exhibits intricate, swirling circular patterns created by abnormal tree growths.

Are these tables sturdy enough for daily use?

Most solid wood and marble-topped console tables provide stable surfaces for everyday objects. However, folding card and games tables require careful handling when opening and closing the hinged top. Checking the joints and leg stability helps ensure the table can support normal weight.

How do I care for antique wood surfaces?

Maintain polished wood by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture. Periodic application of quality beeswax preserves the finish and nourishes the timber. Keep marble tops clean using mild soapy water and avoid acidic cleaners.
