Victorian Inlaid Burr Walnut Combined Games and Work-table

19th century
Description

This superb Victorian inlaid burr walnut combined games and work-table is a fine example of 19th-century English craftsmanship and ingenuity. Beautifully made from richly figured burr walnut with exquisite floral and line inlay, this multifunctional table combines elegance with practical versatility.

The hinged top opens to reveal a beautifully inlaid chess and backgammon board, making it ideal for games and leisure. Beneath the top lies a single fitted drawer, and below that a sliding work box, perfect for sewing or needlework storage.

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.
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.
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.

Originating in the 19th century, a Victorian combined games and work table is a multi-functional piece of furniture designed for leisure and needlework, typically featuring inlay for games such as chess, backgammon, and cribbage alongside storage for sewing implements.

These tables were commonly crafted using rich wood veneers such as burr walnut, rosewood, or mahogany, featuring delicate marquetry or parquetry inlays for the game boards and turned wooden legs with carved stretchers.

Authentic Victorian examples feature hand-cut joinery, original brass hardware or castors, distinct natural figuring in the veneer, and specialized compartments or fabric-lined well drawers intended for handiwork.

Position the table in a living room, library, or reading nook as an occasional or side table, displaying it either closed to show the rich timber grain or open to feature the intricate inlaid gaming surfaces.

Keep the table away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer warping or fading, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply beeswax sparingly to preserve the wood finish.
