Where were these tables used in a home?

Writing tables and desks found placement in studies or drawing rooms for correspondence and administrative tasks. Smaller occasional and lamp tables sat beside seating areas to hold lighting and decorative items. Centre tables occupied prominent positions in the middle of reception rooms, while console and serving tables stood against walls in hallways and dining spaces.

What is the difference between a centre table and an occasional table?

A centre table is traditionally finished on all sides and designed to stand freestanding in the middle of a room. These pieces often feature elaborate marquetry tops meant to be viewed from any angle. An occasional table is generally smaller, lighter, and easier to move around a room as needed. They served specific temporary functions such as holding books, sewing equipment, or lamps.

How can I tell a Sheraton revival piece from an earlier one?

Sheraton revival furniture dates from the late nineteenth century, replicating the lighter, neoclassical proportions popular a century earlier. Examination of the secondary timbers, construction methods, and screws usually reveals the later nineteenth-century manufacturing techniques. Revival pieces often combine multiple decorative elements like bone inlay or specific brass casting styles typical of Victorian workshops rather than eighteenth-century joinery.
