This pair of late Victorian coffee tables dates from circa 1890 in the Sheraton Revival style, produced by the London cabinet makers Edwards and Roberts. Formed from golden brown satinwood with wood inlay, each piece has an oval top featuring floral marquetry inlays, flanked by swept legs and curved cross stretchers. The design incorporates mahogany, boxwood and ebony banding, central panels depicting musical instruments, husk chains, ribbon-bound foliate garlands, chequered fore-edges, and inlaid splayed feet, with a maker's label bearing the Edwards and Roberts address on Piccadilly. Each table stands 51 cm high, 89 cm wide, and 56 cm deep. These low tables suit placement in a traditional sitting room or drawing room as a matching pair before a sofa or central seating group, providing a stable surface for everyday decorative items or entertaining. The neutral golden wood tones and classical ornamentation allow them to integrate easily into period English country house interiors or formal historic settings.

FAQs

During the late Victorian period, cabinetmakers revisited late 18th-century designs by Thomas Sheraton, producing satinwood furniture characterized by elegant neoclassical lines, oval tops, and fine marquetry inlays.

These pieces typically feature a solid hardwood or pine carcass veneered with West Indian or East Indian satinwood, adorned with delicate marquetry cut from contrasting exotic woods such as boxwood and rosewood.

Authentic pieces by Edwards and Roberts often bear a stamped maker mark on the drawer edge or underside, alongside high-grade marquetry detailing and precise joinery techniques typical of top-tier London cabinetmakers.

Position the pair symmetrically alongside a main seating group or use them separately as low occasional tables to add historical warmth and intricate decorative detail to a contemporary living space.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically to nourish the veneer, keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent lifting.
