This Victorian centre table displays Regency influence through its architectural form and turned details. Constructed from cherrywood with a honey-coloured polished finish and warm brown tones, the circular top sits above an octagonal central stem and a heavily carved petal-form pedestal base raised on small round feet. Visible workmanship includes a small original wood repair let into the top surface. Practical in size at 77 cm high and 89 cm wide, the table incorporates a tilt-top mechanism enabling the top to pivot upright when not in use. This versatile piece functions well as a central focal point in a living room, a statement display surface in an entrance hallway, or a compact dining table in a study.

FAQs

A centre table of this era was designed to sit in the middle of a room or entryway as a focal point. The tilt-top mechanism allowed the circular top to latch vertically, enabling the table to be moved to the perimeter of a room to clear space during social gatherings.

Cabinetmakers frequently utilized dense hardwoods such as cherrywood, mahogany, walnut, and rosewood. The structural components feature solid timber pedestals with turned or carved detailing, often resting on brass catch mechanisms and heavy wooden feet.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut iron or brass release latches on the underside of the top, hand-carved joinery along the block hinge, and original oxidation marks on the unpolished underside of the timber surface.

A circular centre table can serve as an entryway focal point in a spacious hall, an informal dining surface in a breakfast nook, or a library table surrounded by modern armchairs.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and modern central heating sources to prevent shrinkage or splitting. Clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain the patination.
