History: Tilt-top tables were fashionable in England shortly after the Revolutionary War and soon were viewed as the ideal table in America as well. Tables from this period are rare and now found mostly in museums or in private hands. These types of tables are favored by many collectors of 18th-century furnishings since they are of versatile form and exclusive of other tea tables from the same period. When placed in any part of a room, its top can be rotated like a lazy Susan. With the top in a vertical position it can be placed neatly in a corner for easy, out-of-the-way storage.
