Where should I put a carved single drawer table?

These tables fit easily into hallways, living rooms, or bedrooms due to their compact footprints and shallow depths. They work effectively against a wall as a console or beside a chair where surface space is needed. The single drawer provides convenient storage for small household items, letters, or keys, keeping surfaces clear of clutter.

How do I care for antique timber tables?

Maintain the wood by applying a natural beeswax periodically to nourish the grain and protect the finish from drying out. Avoid placing the table in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent the timber from warping or splitting. Use coasters and felt pads beneath objects placed on the surface to guard against moisture rings and scratches.

How can I tell a Georgian table from a Victorian one?

Georgian pieces often display restrained classical proportions, straightforward oak or mahogany construction, and understated mouldings. Victorian examples frequently feature heavier proportions, darker finishes, and more elaborate, deep-relief carving. Examining the secondary timbers inside the drawer and the method of joint construction also helps clarify the period of manufacture.

What is the difference between a side table and a lowboy?

A side table is a general term for any small table designed to stand against a wall, varying widely in height and drawer configuration. A lowboy specifically refers to a low table featuring one or two tiers of drawers, originating in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Lowboys traditionally stood on slender cabriole or turned legs, serving intimate personal functions in dressing rooms or parlours.
