What were inlaid demi lune tables used for?

These semicircular tables served multiple domestic purposes in period homes, functioning primarily as decorative wall consoles or serving surfaces in hallways and drawing rooms. Many versions also incorporate hinged tops that unfold to reveal baize-lined surfaces dedicated to card games and tea drinking.

How do I place a demi lune table in a room?

The flat straight edge sits directly flush against a vertical wall, allowing the curved front to project outward into the room without obstructing primary walkways. They work effectively beneath wall mirrors or windows where a full rectangular table would project too far into the floor space.

How can I tell a Georgian table from a later revival?

Authentic 18th-century and George III pieces generally display period timber characteristics, hand-cut joinery, and natural patina developed over generations of use. Revival pieces from the Edwardian and Victorian eras often utilise machine-prepared veneers and specific revival design markers associated with Sheraton or Hepplewhite revivals.
