What were nineteenth century inlaid tables used for?

These tables served various social and domestic functions in the home, acting as surfaces for tea, card games, or reading. Specific forms like games tables featured folding tops and integrated boards, while occasional tables held lamps and decorative objects.

How do I identify a Regency table?

Regency tables typically employ dark tropical hardwoods like rosewood or mahogany, often accented with brass stringing or inlaid motifs. They draw inspiration from classical antiquity, presenting clean structural lines and restrained classical ornamentation.

How should I care for an inlaid tabletop?

Protect the polished wood and delicate veneers by keeping the table away from direct sunlight and sudden temperature changes. Apply occasional wax polish suitable for antique furniture to maintain the moisture and sheen of the timber.

What is the difference between marquetry and parquetry?

Marquetry involves cutting varied wood veneers into pictorial or floral shapes to create decorative surface pictures. Parquetry uses geometric shapes arranged in repeating patterns to form abstract designs like cubes or chequers.
