Antique Tables for Every Room
The variety of antique tables available is extraordinary. A Georgian mahogany tripod table beside an armchair, a Regency rosewood sofa table behind a settee, a Victorian walnut loo table in a bay window, an Edwardian nest of tables for tea: each form was designed for a specific purpose and does that job beautifully.
Console tables, designed to stand against a wall, are among the most decorative. Gilt and marble-topped examples from the Georgian period make dramatic hall furniture. Simpler mahogany or oak console tables work well in any room as surfaces for lamps, vases and photographs.
What to Look For
Stability is the first thing to check. Place the table on a flat surface and press down on each corner; there should be no wobble. Tip-top tables, where the top tilts to vertical for storage, should have a working latch mechanism. Check that pedestal bases are firmly attached to the top and that turned or cabriole legs show no signs of breakage or repair at stress points.
Examine the top surface carefully. Some wear, ring marks and minor scratches are expected and add character. Deep burns, heavy staining or severely damaged veneers may require professional restoration, which should be reflected in the asking price.
Choosing the Right Table
Scale is everything with occasional tables. A table that is too large dominates a room; one that is too small looks lost. As a general rule, a side table should be roughly the same height as the arm of the adjacent sofa or chair. Coffee tables work best at the same height as the seat cushion. Console tables should be in proportion to the wall space above and beside them.
Frequently Asked Questions
A loo table is a Victorian oval or round table on a central pedestal, originally used for the card game "loo" (lanterloo). They are versatile tables, working well as centre tables, breakfast tables or occasional tables. Most are made in walnut or mahogany with a tip-top mechanism.
A sofa table is a narrow, rectangular table with drop leaves at each end, designed to stand behind a sofa. They became fashionable during the Regency period and are typically made in rosewood or mahogany. The drop leaves extend the surface for serving tea or displaying objects.
Light white ring marks can sometimes be removed by rubbing gently with a mixture of cigarette ash and olive oil, or with a proprietary ring mark remover. Dark rings indicate deeper damage and are harder to treat. Always test any treatment on an inconspicuous area first, and consult a restorer for valuable pieces.
Cabriole legs curve outward at the knee and inward toward the foot, often terminating in a ball and claw, pad or scroll foot. The style originated in the early 18th century and is a hallmark of Queen Anne and early Georgian furniture. Cabriole legs are found on tables, chairs and cabinets.
Most antique tables are not suitable for outdoor use as moisture and temperature changes will damage the timber and joints. Exceptions include cast iron pub tables, stone-topped garden tables and certain pieces of garden furniture specifically designed for outdoor use.
