Tables Reflected Changing
Needs And Fashions
From the 18th century on
probably no piece of furiture has
changed as much as the table. Its
purpose changed from a place to
simply eat and drink as did its
appearance from utilitarian to
spinoffs that held wine, sewing,
tea, and and other things. By the

19th century there was a table for
dozens of purposes, and in many
materials from wood to metal.
In early Colonial times a table
was sometimes also a chair. In
antique parlance a “chair table.”
What began as a simple trestle
table, basically a long board, rest
ing on trestles was referred to as
“table board and frame.”
The hutch table, also known as
a “chair table,” sometimes had a
storage compartment under a
hinged seat. Another form, was
the circular hutch table built on
trestle ends. By the early 19th
century the chair table was
mounted on turned legs.
Another popular Colonial style
was the gateleg table. It took on a
new form when it became the sin
gle-gate or tuckaway table.
A style unique to America was
the “butterfly” table, it had a
swing bracket instead of a gate
leg. It got its’ name from the
wing-shaped bracket. It came in
many shapes and sizes, some
with a drawer in the frame.
By the end of the 18th century,
the growing American middle
class began filling their
homes with quality furniture.
However, since there homes
were modest and the rooms
smaller, tables were scaled
down to meet their needs.
Not for them were smaller
versions of old furniture
fashions. They wanted a new
look. Heavy, old woods such
as oak became passe. Popu
lar were mahogany and fruit
woods as well as walnut,
ebony, and birch.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 15, 2003-825
Comfort dictated new innova
tions in dining table designs. By
the early 19th century either tri
pod or quadruped pedestals gave
diners leg room.
Most of the styles were adapt
ed from English pattern books,
such as Chippendale, Sheraton
and Hepplewhite. However, these
names becamed Americanized
from 1788 to around 1825, and
lumped under the name Federal
style.
The English custom of tea
drinking brought about the
American version of the small tea
table that could be easily moved.
One of the earliest styles was the
mahogany tripod.
Designed from practicality it
had a swivel top. When not used,
it was folded up and placed
against the wall.
Another small 18th century
table was the wine table, with a
pierced gallery top. There were
also nested tables, the 18th cen
tury version of television tray ta
bles.
Originally designed by Thomas
Sheraton, they are characterized
by slender legs and tops, often
with inlays of contrasting woods.
In the 19th century they were
made in and exported from
China in black lacquer. When
specially
commission
ed, they had
the owners
initials in gilt
on the top.
The work
table became
popular in the
late 18th and
on into the
19th century.
Often they
had a decora
tive fabric
skirt under
neath. The
top lifted up
to reveal sew
ing imple
ments.
Card or game tables developed
in the 18th century continued,
with changes, into the 19th cen
tury.
The late 19th century home
had grown in size with an entry
hall. A hall table, often with a
mirror, filled the need for a place
for the calling card tray.
CLUES: All of these table
styles have been and continue to
be reproduced; some made in In
donesia these days. To get an
idea of what is currently being re
produced look at dealer ads sell
ing foreign reproductions. Older
reproductions, made in the 1920 s
as Colonial Revival, are being
collected, since the woods and
construction are generally quali
ty-

tic 18th century and early 19th
century examples sell for thou
