What periods do these tables come from?

The pieces span from the nineteenth century through the Edwardian period and heavily into the 1930s Art Deco era. Victorian and Queen Anne style revivals also contribute to the historical range. Craftsmanship methods shifted from traditional nineteenth-century cabinet making to modernist geometric forms and mechanical innovations by the interwar decades.

How were drinks trolleys used?

Drinks trolleys and serving carts provided mobile surfaces for transporting glassware, decanters, and bottles between rooms during social gatherings. Tiered designs allowed hosts to organise drinks and accessories across multiple levels. Some examples incorporated wheels or casters to glide smoothly across carpets and wooden floors during service.

What is the difference between a wine table and a drinks table?

Wine tables typically offer a compact, single-pillar circular top designed to hold a single glass and bottle near a seat. Drinks tables encompass a broader category that includes larger coffee tables, trolleys, and cabinets suited for entertaining. Both forms utilise walnut timbers, but drinks tables often provide expanded surface areas or specialised storage compartments.

How do I identify an Art Deco piece?

Art Deco pieces from the 1930s often feature streamlined geometric silhouettes, highly figured burr walnut veneers, and contrasting metal or mirrored glass elements. Metamorphic mechanisms and tiered shelving structures are also common hallmarks of this era. These designs prioritise sleek functionality combined with rich, decorative wood grains rather than heavy historical carving.
