Antique farm tables are meant to last a long time, while being used all the while. How is that possible? It is even possible to keep your antique table in a good condition while using it for your daily meals? The answer is “Yes.”
You need to bear in mind that curry/gravy stains and the like, are not conducive for the preservation of old wood. But so long as you take care when you serve food on your antique table, the chances of it lasting a long time while still being used as a dining table are good.
You’d also have to worry about wood borer pests. Some types of wasps and flies lay their eggs in crevices of old wood. When their larvae hatch, they start boring further into the wood, and the result - damaged wood. Perform daily checks to ensure no pests have taken a foothold in or on your antique table.
Keeping your antique farm table safe from big daily temperature changes is also a good way to make sure it is preserved a long time. Here is more info on how to take care of your antique table.
