What is a cricket table?

A cricket table is a traditional three-legged round table usually made from oak or elm. Its three legs provide natural stability on uneven flagstone floors. These pieces typically date to the eighteenth century and served various domestic functions in country settings.

How do I use a tripod table?

Tripod tables work well beside seating as lamp or occasional surfaces. Their compact circular tops fit easily into corners or beside armchairs. Some examples feature tilting tops, which allowed owners to store them flat against walls when space was needed.

What periods do these tables span?

The available selection covers multiple centuries, ranging from eighteenth-century Georgian designs to Edwardian and Arts & Crafts interpretations. Each period brings distinct turning styles and construction details. Earlier examples often display vernacular country characteristics, while later pieces reflect specific revival movements.

Are these tables made of solid wood?

Most examples utilise solid oak or elm, though wood veneer appears on select pieces from later periods. The primary timbers reflect traditional English cabinet-making materials. Construction methods rely on pegged joints and turned supports rather than modern adhesives.
