Where were these tables made?

These tables originate from various regions including India, Burma, China, and Indonesia, often reflecting colonial trade and local craftsmanship of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Craftsmen in centres such as Hoshiarpur specialised in distinct styles of intricate fretwork and inlay that travelled back to British homes.

How do I care for a carved wooden table?

Dust the intricate carved surfaces regularly using a soft brush to prevent dirt accumulation in the recesses. Avoid harsh chemical polishes that can build up within the pierced details. Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and dramatic humidity changes to prevent the wood from splitting or warping.

Are folding campaign tables sturdy?

Folding campaign tables were engineered for portability without sacrificing everyday utility. The clever hinged stands allow the furniture to pack flat while remaining stable when locked open for service. Inspect the hinges and folding pins periodically to ensure the joints operate smoothly and support weight securely.

How do I identify an Anglo-Indian table?

Anglo-Indian tables typically feature dense, all-over floral or animal carvings executed in heavy tropical hardwoods like teak or padauk. Many incorporate folding bases or removable tray tops designed for colonial transport. Subtle details such as brass or copper inlays further point toward the workshops of the Indian subcontinent during the Victorian era.
