How do I choose the right table size?

Consider the number of guests you routinely host and the physical dimensions of your room. Extending tables offer flexibility for everyday use and larger gatherings. Ensure you leave adequate clearance around the table for chairs to pull out comfortably and for people to walk past sideboards.

What is the difference between original and revival pieces?

Original pieces date back to the Georgian and Regency periods, carrying centuries of age and distinct patination on the timber. Revival pieces were manufactured later, often during the Edwardian era or the early twentieth century, copying those earlier designs. Both categories utilise solid mahogany and traditional construction methods, but original items hold greater historical age.

How should I care for mahogany dining furniture?

Apply bees wax occasionally to nourish the surface and maintain a natural sheen. Use coasters and mats on tables to protect the polished finish from moisture and heat damage during meals.

What are carver chairs used for?
