What periods do these tables come from?

The available selection primarily spans the nineteenth century, drawing heavily from Victorian production, alongside notable examples from the eighteenth century. Craftsmen across different decades utilised similar geometric veneering traditions, meaning you find both Georgian proportions and later Victorian interpretations represented.

How were starburst patterns constructed?

Artisans cut thin wedges of contrasting timbers, such as ebony, calamander, and lighter specimen woods, then fitted them together around a central point. This mosaic of wood was glued onto a solid timber substrate, usually mahogany or walnut, creating a stable yet highly decorative surface.

Where were these tables made?

Geographical origins vary widely, including workshops in Italy for Sorrento ware, Ireland for Killarney work, and colonial centres in Ceylon and New Zealand. British cabinetmakers also produced domestic interpretations using native timbers alongside imported exotic woods.

How do I care for an inlaid surface?

Maintain these tables by keeping them away from direct sunlight and fluctuating heat sources, which can cause delicate veneers to dry and lift. Apply a traditional beeswax polish sparingly to nourish the timber and protect the historical finish without sealing the wood.
