How do I care for mahogany dining tables?

Clean surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and grit. Avoid placing hot dishes directly onto the polished wood to prevent heat rings. Apply a traditional beeswax polish sparingly to maintain the natural lustre of the timber. Keep tables away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent warping.

Are these dining tables suitable for daily use?

Solid mahogany construction provides exceptional durability and stability for everyday family meals. Extending mechanisms allow tables to expand easily for large gatherings. Protecting the surface with table pads during heavy use preserves the historic polish. Regular maintenance ensures these antique pieces withstand active modern households.

How many chairs come in a set?

Sets typically range from four to ten matching chairs depending on the original commission. Larger sets often include carver chairs with armrests for the heads of the table. Review individual listings to confirm exact quantities and chair proportions. Mixing carvers with standard side chairs creates a complete dining configuration.
