How do I use a demi-lune table?

Demi-lune tables feature a half-moon shape designed to stand flat against a wall. They function well in narrow hallways and reception spaces. Collectors often acquire them in pairs to arrange symmetrically on either side of a doorway.

What woods were used for Regency tables?

Mahogany and rosewood dominate the primary surfaces of these tables. Cabinetmakers also utilised satinwood, birds-eye maple and ebony for contrasting veneers and inlay. Secondary woods supported the internal framing while decorative ebonised hardwood provided striking dark accents.

Are all these tables from the Regency period?

The listings include pieces genuinely made during the Regency era alongside later nineteenth-century interpretations and twentieth-century reproductions. Makers continued producing revival pieces well into the nineteen-thirties. Examination of timber age, construction methods and hardware helps distinguish the original period pieces from later examples.
