Copper, Brass & Zinc Topped Bespoke Tables

Our natural copper, brass and zinc tabletops are made from full thickness sheets of the finest natural metal. This metal is wrapped over premium MDF (medium-density fibreboard), reducing movement as a result of temperature changes, like central heating.

We only use solid sheet metal for our bespoke tables, made from all-natural materials. Our metal tabletops are durable and hardwearing, ideal for kitchen and dining tables or for commercial use in restaurants and bars.

Unlike other metal plated tables where a thin layer of metal such as brass or zinc is applied over steel, the look of our bespoke copper, zinc and brass table tops will improve with use. And there’s no risk of the finish being scratched off. You can choose to have the natural metal finish, or we can antique or distress the top.

At UKAA, we find zinc to be a great product to work with and use. The material is found in a range of high-end houses and historical estates. Improving with age, zinc table tops look great even after a few hundred years of use.

Please note: Due to how the solid metal sheets are rolled through the mill during production, there may be visible imperfections within the sheets that can’t be polished. This is noticeable in certain lights with the natural finish tabletops.

For any more information on the natural metal table tops we offer, contact us.

Which Finish?
We do several finishes in the zinc & copper tables: Antique, Natural, Distressed Antique and Matte.

The ‘Natural’ finish is polished with a peak paste and gives a very chic, stylish and modern look. It is clean and sharp to the eye. You would need to protect this finish with coasters and mats as it would mark. Any marks that occur can be polished out using the peak polish supplied with every table.

‘Distressed Antique’ finish is natural zinc that has been distressed slightly by hand giving a lovely matte finish and a more used look. This is a practical finish giving an accelerated aged look, which will continue to develop over time. Coasters and placemats are recommended with this finish to keep it in good condition.

The ‘Matte’ finish is practical and has a great flat appearance – perfect for an industrial look. This is very popular for people who like a modern but slightly used look. Coasters are recommended to prevent marks.

Zinc is a natural product making it great for food preparation. We can also make kitchen worktops using zinc for the same reason - making it much more practical than stainless steel.

All finishes can have nailed detailing around the edges for a more industrial feel. This is a personal finish with the option to have them spaced at intervals of your choice.

Further Information

Victorian scrub top tables were often found in the servant quarters of a large house or a family kitchen. These were utilitarian pieces and served a purpose. Victorian scrubbed top table bases were generally made from pine and the tops were made using pine planks. These planks came from wide boards and it would not have been unusual for them to have used slightly different widths. The tables were made for practical use and not necessarily for the look of the table. They would have used whatever boards they had available at the time.

We try to recreate this look with our handmade, bespoke tables. A typical Victorian table base would have had turned legs and were stained brown to look like mahogany. Additionally, the tops were scrubbed as they were often used as a table and a work top for the preparation of food. To clean the table top it would have been scrubbed by hand using a wooden scrubbing brush.

With our bespoke tables, we can leave the boards and not wax them so that you can achieve the same look. Alternatively, we can wax the table top for you. Coasters or place mats will be needed to protect the table top if you don’t want to leave any ring marks.
