Entrance Tables, Antique French Tables and Pedestals
Modern furniture trends come and go, but antique tables – including entrance tables, French tables, console tables, side tables and pedestals – are always in style.
Antique tables offer not just timeless beauty but also serve as valuable investment pieces that appreciate over time. With a wide array of options available, you’re bound to discover the perfect fit for your space, whether you prefer round or rectangular, intricate or minimalist designs.
If you don’t find the exact match, fret not! We offer customization services tailored to your preferences. From gilding and stripping to bleaching and staining, we can modify the table to your liking. The versatility of solid wood antique tables, especially those on period castors, allows for easy movement and repurposing in any space. (Perhaps as a WFH study desk?).
Antique pedestals or vintage side tables are the perfect smaller items for bedrooms and lounges, becoming multi-purpose showpieces for display and storage – from antique books or a silver collection.
Entrance tables are perfect pieces of vintage functional art. These pieces make entrances and walkways beam with elegance & prestige. Your dream entrance table is a few clicks away.

He was a patron of John Linnell in the mid-1770s so it is possible that he was the first recipient of a sophisticated design which is a development of the double gateleg table, adapted so that the legs spread the weight without obstructing people sitting at it." https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-4471214 PROVENANCE Sotheby Parke Bernet South Africa, Johannesburg, 3 March 1975, lot 156.
