How do you operate the tilt mechanism safely?

Release the brass catch or wooden wedge located beneath the table top, allowing the surface to pivot smoothly on its central hinge. Support the weight of the top with one hand as you guide it from the vertical storage position down to the horizontal locked plane.

Were these tables used for dining?

Breakfast and dining tables served multiple daily functions in Georgian households, moving from morning meals to parlour activities. Smaller occasional versions held lamps and books, while larger circular tops accommodated seated dining groups before folding away to clear the room.

How do I care for mahogany and rosewood surfaces?

Apply a traditional beeswax polish sparingly to nourish the timber and maintain a soft sheen without building up sticky layers. Keep these tables away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the veneers from drying, cracking, or lifting over time.

What distinguishes Regency tables from earlier Georgian pieces?

Regency examples frequently introduce exotic veneers such as rosewood and amboyna, paired with contrasting brass inlay or stringing. Earlier Georgian pieces lean towards solid mahogany or figured walnut, relying on carved tripod bases and piecrust edges rather than metallic embellishments.
