An exquisite Victorian burr walnut loo table, dating from around 1860, showcasing superb craftsmanship and the natural beauty of book-matched walnut veneer.

The oval tilting top rests on an elegant carved column base with quadruple turned supports and scrolling cabriole legs ending in original ceramic castors.

FAQs

A loo table is a type of table originally designed in the 18th and 19th centuries for playing the card game Loo. Typically oval or round with a tilt-top mechanism, these tables were designed to tilt vertically so they could be placed against a wall to clear floor space when not in use.

Victorian tilt-top tables were commonly constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, and burr walnut. Construction featured a solid central pedestal support, carved cabriole legs, brass tilt-latches, and decorative wood veneers across the top surface.

Authentic mid-Victorian pieces feature hand-carved pedestal bases, original brass snap-latch mechanisms underneath the top, and hand-cut veneers. Signs of age include natural oxidisation on the timber underside, period brass castors, and slight hand-worked variations in the turned woodwork.

A Victorian loo table functions as a focal centre table in an entry foyer, an occasional dining table, or an accent piece within a large bay window. Combining the dark timber patina with clean-lined modern seating creates a balanced contemporary aesthetic.

Dust regularly with a soft dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish once or twice per year to protect the timber surface. Position the table away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer warping or fading.
