How do I fold these tables?

Many octagonal and hexagonal tables utilise an ingenious hinged wooden lattice framework that collapses flat by lifting the top off its base. The interlocking wooden slats pivot on wooden pins or simple hinges. Care must be taken when dismantling older folding tables to avoid straining the delicate inlay work along the pivot points.

Cairoware refers to brass vessels and occasional tables produced in Egypt during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These pieces feature contrasting metal inlays of copper and white metal. They represent a revival of traditional Islamic metalworking techniques tailored for the European export market.

Are these tables fragile?

Due to the multitude of small bone and mother-of-pearl inlays, these tables require gentle handling and stable indoor humidity. Changes in temperature can cause the timber substrate to expand and release individual inlay pieces. Routine dusting with a soft cloth keeps the intricate surfaces clean without moisture damaging the adhesives.

How do I date these tables?

Dating relies on material combinations, construction methods, and stylistic cues such as Mamluk Revival motifs or specific colonial influences. Pieces from the late nineteenth century often display denser hand-carved woodwork and heavier brass gauges. Twentieth-century examples occasionally show standardised hinge mechanisms and machine-sawn timber elements.
