What is a wine table used for?

These compact tables were historically moved around a room to hold glasses, decanters, or small lamps beside seating areas. Their portability made them versatile additions to nineteenth-century drawing rooms. Today, they function effectively as lamp tables or occasional display surfaces in living spaces where floor space is limited.

What is an Anglo-Indian table?

Anglo-Indian pieces combine traditional British furniture forms with intricate local carving traditions executed by craftsmen in India during the nineteenth century. They frequently feature dense floral or figural relief work across the entire wooden surface. These tables utilise dense regional hardwoods and showcase distinct stylistic exchanges between Britain and the subcontinent.

Why does a tilt-top matter?

Tilt-top mechanisms allowed tables to be tucked away against walls when the room needed to be cleared for other activities. This practical feature was standard on tripod wine tables from the Georgian and Regency eras. Examining the original brass catch or wooden block beneath the top helps confirm the piece retains its original pivoting function.
