How do I identify the period of my table?

Dating relies on observing the timber species, decorative motifs, and construction methods characteristic of different eras. Georgian and Regency examples typically employ solid mahogany with tripod bases, while 1930s Art Deco pieces favour figured walnut, maple, and chrome. Stylistic markers such as brass inlay, hand-painted decoration, or revolving bookcase mechanisms help assign pieces to Victorian, Edwardian, or Arts and Crafts periods.

Are all circular tiered tables antique?

How do I care for wood tiered tables?
