Victorian Centre Table

The late 19th century witnessed an extraordinary flourish in furniture design, notably during the Victorian era, which spanned from 1837 to 1901. This period was marked by an embrace of elaborate designs, intricate detailing, and the utilisation of high-quality materials. Among the most celebrated pieces of this era is the tilt-top centre table, a masterpiece of craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal.

A prime exemplar of Victorian ingenuity and elegance is found in this specific tilt top centre table, distinguished by its scalloped top and the exquisite application of quarter veneered, bookmatched burr walnut. Burr walnut, renowned for its deeply figured grain patterns and rich, warm hues, serves as the foundational material, lending the piece a luxurious visual texture. This table is further enhanced with a central panel and border inlays of foliate marquetry, showcasing a harmonious blend of various woods, and occasionally other materials, to create detailed patterns and imagery reflective of nature.

The table’s dimensions, standing at a height of 76 cm with a width of 142 cm and depth of 107 cm, affirm its presence as a centerpiece in any room. Its design features a functional tilt top mechanism, allowing the table to be vertically oriented when not in use, thus saving space when not in use. This practical aspect does not detract from the table’s aesthetic allure but instead adds to its Victorian charm in its wonderfully contoured and expertly finished top.
