19th century
Description

A rare Regency period burr yew and inlaid drop-leaf work table dating to c.1820. This attractive table has tulipwood crossbanding to the top and a U-shaped cradle support on a rectangular tapering column with a beaded platform base raised on four hipped out curved legs with brass paw feet and castors. With a frieze drawer above the pull-out sewing or storage basket, the basket is constructed from timber with a fabric cover to the outside.

Lovely condition for age, there is a lock and key, the lock is not working but it may be possible for our locksmith to repair it, and there is a label to the inside for a historic repair to a leg join (in 1906). The yellow fabric covering the basket is worn appears to only be pinned at the corners and should be easily replaced to suit the decor of its next home.

Dealers Notes

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in the late eighteenth century and reaching peak popularity during the Regency period, work tables were designed for ladies to store sewing and embroidery materials. They were constructed as delicate, portable pieces featuring drop-leaves, small drawers, and fabric wells.

High-grade hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, and figured veneers like burr yew or satinwood were standard for the exterior frame. Secondary timbers included oak or pine for internal drawer linings, accompanied by brass castors and pleated silk or satin work bags.

Key indicators include hand-cut dovetail joints, period-correct brass hardware, natural wood patina, and classical proportions such as splayed pedestal legs. Original fabric wells often show signs of age-appropriate wear or historical replacement.

A Regency work table operates effectively as an occasional side table alongside a sofa or armchair in a living space. Its compact footprint also suits narrow hallway spaces, window bays, or reading nooks.

Apply a light coat of high-quality beeswax polish annually to protect the burr yew veneer and maintain its natural lustre. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight, radiators, and damp environments to prevent veneer lifting or wood cracking.
