How much does an antique round table cost?

Prices vary by period, timber and condition. Expect to pay £300–£800 for a standard 19th-century piece, £1,500–£5,000 for a fine mahogany or rosewood example, and more for a stamped or provenance-documented piece.

How can I tell if an antique round table is genuine?

Look for hand-cut joints, natural patina on the underside of the top and consistent wear on the base. An original pedestal shows uniform ageing throughout. A cabinetmaker's stamp or auction-house label provides additional confirmation of authenticity.

What woods are most common in antique round tables?

Mahogany dominates Empire and Louis-Philippe pieces. Walnut is widespread in French regional production. Rosewood and oak appear frequently under Napoléon III. Fruitwoods such as cherry and pear are typical of Biedermeier and Restauration examples.

How should I care for an antique wooden round table?

Apply natural beeswax twice a year and avoid direct sunlight and significant humidity fluctuations. For mahogany or walnut tops, a gentle clean with diluted linseed oil revives the patina without damaging the wood.

Can an antique round table be shipped internationally?

Yes. Most professional dealers offer bespoke packaging and work with specialist fine-art carriers. Request a shipping quote from the dealer before purchasing; costs and lead times vary depending on destination and the dimensions of the piece.
