Where should I place a centre table?

A centre table belongs in the middle of a room where it can function independently of walls, acting as a natural gathering point or a surface for lamps and objects. Because these pieces are finished on all sides, they work effectively in large hallways, libraries, or spacious sitting rooms rather than tight corners.

How do I care for a marble top?

Marble requires protection from acidic substances like wine, citrus, and vinegar, which can etch the polished surface upon contact. Wipe spills promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Applying a neutral stone wax occasionally helps maintain the sheen and guards against minor staining without altering the natural patina.

What is the difference between Empire and Louis XVI styles?

Louis XVI style draws inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman architecture through straight tapered legs, fluting, and restrained geometric symmetry. It feels lighter and more delicate in its proportions. French Empire design, developed under Napoleon, is heavier and more martial, incorporating rich mahogany, bold ormolu mounts, and direct references to Egyptian and Roman conquest.

Can I use an antique centre table as a coffee table?
