How do I clean an inlaid wood surface?

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent accumulation in the veneer crevices. Avoid modern liquid polishes containing silicone, opting instead for traditional beeswax applied sparingly. Keep these tables away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the kingwood veneer from drying out or lifting over time.

Are marble tops original to these tables?

Many bedside cabinets and side tables were specifically designed to accommodate fitted marble slabs, providing a durable and water-resistant surface. These slabs sit directly into the wooden frame, sometimes secured by a raised moulding. While replacements do occur, original marble tops generally match the exact proportions and period style of the base cabinet.

Can I use a bedside cabinet as a lamp table?
