What is a splayed leg table?

How do I date a mahogany table?

Dating a mahogany table involves examining the timber characteristics, construction methods, and hardware style. Pieces from the Georgian and Regency periods exhibit hand-cut joinery and specific design motifs. Later Edwardian or twentieth-century revivals often replicate these earlier styles but employ different secondary woods and modern assembly marks.

Were tilt top tables common?

Tilt-top tables were widely used during the Georgian and Regency eras to save floor space. They allowed owners to store the heavy wooden top vertically against a wall when dining or gaming concluded. Mechanisms typically include a birdcage or a simple block hinge mounted on a pillar and tripod base.

How are sofa tables used?
