Finding the Right Tables for You

The right vintage, new or antique tables can help make any space in your home stand out.

Over the years, the variety of tables available to us, as well as our specific needs for said tables, has broadened. Today, with all manner of these must-have furnishings differing in shape, material and style, any dining room table can shine just as brightly as the guests who gather around it.

Remember, when shopping for a dining table, it must fit your dining area, and you need to account for space around the table too — think outside the box, as an oval dining table may work for tighter spaces. Alternatively, if you’ve got the room, a Regency-style dining table can elevate any formal occasion at mealtime.

Innovative furniture makers and designers have also redefined what a table can be. Whether it’s an unconventional Ping-Pong table, a brass side table to display your treasured collectibles or a Louis Vuitton steamer trunk to add an air of nostalgia to your loft, your table can say a lot about you.

The visionary work of French designer Xavier Lavergne, for example, includes tables that draw on the forms of celestial bodies as often as they do aquatic creatures or fossils. Elsewhere, Italian architect Gae Aulenti, who looked to Roman architecture in crafting her stately Jumbo coffee table, created clever glass-topped mobile coffee tables that move on bicycle tires or sculpted wood wheels for Fontana Arte. 

Coffee and cocktail tables can serve as a room’s centerpiece with attention-grabbing details and colors. Glass varieties will keep your hardwood flooring and dazzling area rugs on display, while a marble or stone coffee table in a modern interior can showcase your prized art books and decorative objects. A unique vintage desk or writing table can bring sophistication and even a bit of spice to your work life. 

No matter your desired form or function, a quality table for your living space is a sound investment. On 1stDibs, browse a collection of vintage, new and antique bedside tables, mid-century end tables and more .

Questions About Antique Dough Table

  • What is a dough table?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    A dough table, or kneading trough, is a primitive piece of furniture used in the bread-making process. Dough tables originated in Europe and were brought to the United States by the Pennsylvania Dutch sometime in the 1700s. The table's flat lid makes for the perfect kneading surface while the inside trough is the perfect space for the dough to rise.

  • What were antique dough bowls used for?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Dough bowls, also known as trenchers, were a staple in colonial America for mixing bread and providing a place for the dough to rise before baking. Shop a collection of antique dough bowls from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

  • What were dough box tables used for?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A dough box table, also known as a bread table, was designed for making bread. The dough is placed in the wooden box to allow it to rise, then when the dough is ready to be kneaded, it can be finished on the flat top. Shop a collection of vintage dough box tables on 1stDibs.

  • How do I identify an antique table?

    2 Answers
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    You can identify an antique table in a number of ways. The first clue that a table is antique is the joinery. If a piece of furniture is dovetailed by hand, it only has a couple of dovetails, which are uneven. Also, antique tables are not defined by perfect symmetry. Lastly, antique tables were typically made of oak, mahogany, and walnut.
    Bonnin Ashley Antiques Inc
    Bonnin Ashley Antiques IncFebruary 23, 2021
    In addition to the joinery you can check the bottoms of the drawers and the backs of the cabinets. If they were made prior to 1850 then the wood will most likely be dimensioned by hand. It will be uneven to the touch. The secondary wood that receives the veneer will have been scraped smooth but drawer bottoms, backs and bottoms are often left less finished.

  • What is an antique rent table?

    2 Answers
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    An antique rent table is a piece of furniture that landlords and tenants used to exchange rent. The rent money would be placed in one drawer, the table would rotate for the landlord to receive. It was considered polite and gentlemanly to pay rent this way. Shop a collection of antique rent tables from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A rent table is a small circular or polygonal table with drawers. Rent tables frequently had drawers labeled for the days of the week, and English landlords in the 18th century often used them to collect rent. On 1stDibs, shop antique rent tables from some of the world’s top sellers.

  • How can you tell if a kitchen table is antique?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    To tell if a kitchen table is antique, look under the table and on the legs for a maker's mark. It may be carved, branded or stamped onto the surface or appear on a paper or metal label. Using the marking, you can consult trusted online resources to learn about the maker and view catalogues of their pieces, searching for tables similar to yours. If your kitchen table was produced at least 100 years ago, it is an antique. Keep in mind that not all antique furnishings have maker's markings. In the event that you're unable to locate a mark, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can evaluate your piece for you. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of tables.

  • How can you tell if a side table is antique?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    To determine whether a side table is an antique, closely examine its details. Older pieces will typically have telltale features like wood pegs, hand-cut dovetails with some slight imperfections and mortise-and-tenon construction. Tables that are a consistent color throughout or have machine-cut moldings or carvings are unlikely to be antiques. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can be a helpful resource when dating tables. Shop a collection of antique, vintage and modern side tables on 1stDibs.

  • How can I identify my antique dining table?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To identify your antique dining table, first check to see if there is a maker’s mark on the underside. If there are no identifying marks or stamps, a furniture appraiser can check the style and the hardwood used to identify your piece. Shop a collection of antique furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

  • How do I care for an antique wood dining table?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Keep it out of direct sun and away from heat, dust with a soft cloth, and wax or polish sparingly.

  • Can I replace the shade on an antique table lamp?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Yes. Most table lamps accept standard harp and finial sizes, so a replacement shade can update the look without altering the base.

  • How do I identify an antique drop leaf table?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    While you can look for markings and other details to try and determine the maker, the best way to identify an antique drop leaf table is to work with a certified appraiser. Trusted online venues and search engines can be helpful when conducting research on a specific collectible, piece of jewelry, art work or other item about which you may have questions, but qualified professionals, such as an antiques dealer or an appraiser at an auction house, have the knowledge and experience needed to make more accurate identifications. Shop a selection of antique, vintage and modern tables on 1stDibs.

  • What wattage bulb should I use in an antique table lamp?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Stick to the wattage noted in the listing, typically 40 to 60 watts for standard incandescent-equivalent bulbs, to avoid overheating older wiring.

  • What's the difference between a vintage and antique dining room table?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Antique generally means 100+ years old, while vintage covers roughly 20 to 99 years and includes most mid-century and postmodern designs.

  • Is it safe to use a vintage or antique table lamp without rewiring it?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Many vintage lamps are rewired before sale, but always check the listing description; a licensed electrician can inspect and rewire older cords as a precaution.
