How were these tables used originally?

These tables served primarily as permanent fixtures in grand hallways, dining rooms, and reception spaces where they displayed porcelain, lamps, or decorative ornaments. Because of their heavy marble tops, they were rarely moved about a room and remained positioned against walls or fixed in the centre of large spaces.

Where should I place a console table?

Console tables fit naturally against entrance hallway walls, beneath large mirrors, or behind sofas to provide a steady surface for lamps and decorative objects. Their shallow depth ensures they occupy minimal floor space while offering a distinct visual anchor in living areas.

How do I distinguish 18th century from revival pieces?

Eighteenth-century originals show period-specific tool marks, timber shrinkage consistent with age, and construction methods characteristic of early hand workshops. Revival pieces, built during later periods like the nineteenth or twentieth century, often utilise machine-sawn timber elements and standardised joinery while copying earlier styles.

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

Side tables are built to stand flush against a wall, often featuring finished details only on the front and visible sides. Centre tables are constructed to be viewed from all four directions, featuring finished carving and design work around the entire perimeter of the frame.
