How do I use extension leaves?

Extension leaves slide into the centre of the table when the two main pedestals are pulled apart. They are secured with internal brass clips or wooden pins. Storing leaves flat in a dry room prevents warping and ensures they fit snugly back into the table when guests arrive.

Are these tables good for small spaces?

The pedestal design allows chairs to tuck neatly underneath without corner legs obstructing the seating. This makes them surprisingly versatile in compact dining rooms. Removing the extra leaf reduces the overall length for daily use while retaining the formal silhouette.

How do I care for mahogany surfaces?

Mahogany responds best to regular dusting with a soft dry cloth and occasional applications of natural beeswax. Avoid placing hot dishes directly on the polished wood. Keeping the table away from direct sunlight and radiators prevents the timber from drying out and cracking over time.

How can I tell a Regency table from a revival?

Original Regency pieces display the construction methods, timber patination, and wear consistent with the early nineteenth century. Revival versions from the 1920s or 1930s often show cleaner internal joins and different secondary woods. Examining the underside of the table top and the brass castors helps reveal the true age of the piece.
