Victorian Mahogany Extending Writing Table

19th century
For Sale by LTANTIQUES.CO.UK
Description

A rare and attractive early Victorian mahogany extending writing table, circa 1840, of notably fine quality and very much in the manner of Gillows.

The table is beautifully constructed in rich mahogany and retains a deep, warm colour throughout.

It features two pull-out extension leaves, allowing it to extend with ease, making it equally suitable for use as a small dining table or centre table as well as a writing table.

The frieze is fitted with a central working drawer, flanked by dummy drawers to either side.

It stands on elegant reeded and turned legs, terminating in castors, allowing for easy movement.

The table is finished all around, enabling it to be freestanding in the centre of a room.

An unusual and versatile piece, in very good condition.

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

Victorian writing tables were produced during the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901) and are characterised by solid hardwood construction, functional frieze drawers, and detailed turned or reeded legs often mounted on brass castors.

Craftsmen predominantly used solid mahogany, walnut, or oak for the primary frame and veneer surfaces, while internal drawer linings were typically constructed from secondary woods like pine or oak with hand-cut dovetail joints.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, natural wood movement along the top, original brass or ceramic castors, and period hand-turned handles or brass locks.

A Victorian writing table can serve as an elegant home office workspace or hallway console, creating an engaging contrast when paired with contemporary seating and modern task lighting.

Dust the wood regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically along the grain to preserve the finish, keeping the item away from direct heat sources to prevent timber warping.
