Description

An impressive mid-Victorian burr walnut work and games table, the top featuring a fine micro-mosaic border of Tunbridge work in boxwood, rosewood and ebony, framing the burr walnut field and central mahogany reserve.

The top rotates and folds open to reveal finely inlaid chess and backgammon boards in sycamore and rosewood within walnut surrounds. The craftsmanship and veneering quality are of a high order, with the table finished in a deep, even polish.

Below, the fitted upper drawer contains a lined divided interior, while the lower drawer forms a deep work-box compartment, both recently relined. The whole stands on turned and carved walnut supports joined by a central stretcher, the legs terminating in scroll feet on small brass castors. The original hand-cut brass hinges are neatly recessed and fully functional.

Presented in very good antique condition, with some surface wear consistent with age and use. Structurally sound, clean and ready to place in the home.

English, circa 1870.

Closed - H: 73.5 W: 62 D: 43 cm

FAQs

Victorian games and work tables gained immense popularity during the 19th century as domestic leisure and parlour games became central to middle and upper-class social life. These multi-functional pieces often combined writing surfaces, chess or backgammon boards, and compartments for sewing or needlework.

Cabinet makers typically utilised solid secondary timbers such as mahogany or pine for the internal structure, veneered with highly figured decorative woods like burr walnut, rosewood, or satinwood. Intricate marquetry inlay, brass hardware, and turned wooden components were also standard construction features.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints in drawer construction, natural patination on the timber surfaces, and traditional hand-applied French polish finishes. Inspecting the underside reveals period-appropriate fasteners, hand-sawn timber characteristics, and absence of modern power-tool markings.

An antique games table serves as a functional focal point when placed in a living room, study, or open-plan area as an occasional table. Pairing it with contemporary seating creates a curated look that balances historical character with modern clean lines.

Maintain burr walnut furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and central heating vents to prevent veneer splitting and fading. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and periodically apply microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the traditional polished finish.
