This Victorian writing table from 1850 is fashioned in burr walnut with boxwood inlay, pine and brass, presenting a warm brown timber colour with floral marquetry inlay on the top, dark turned wooden drawer pull handles, and a white repair mark visible on the front left foot. The piece comprises a rounded rectangular top over two frieze drawers, raised on twin end turned supports with carved lower leg details, shaped feet with brass castors, and a central turned stretcher connecting the bases. The table measures 74 cm high, 114.5 cm wide, and 58.5 cm deep. In a home today, it functions as a practical writing desk in a study, home office, or drawing room.

FAQs

Popular during the mid-to-late 19th century, these writing tables feature burr walnut veneers cut from the burl of the tree, creating a highly figured grain pattern. They typically include frieze drawers, rounded corners, floral inlay or marquetry, and turned or carved supports on castors.

Victorian cabinetmakers frequently used solid mahogany or pine cores covered with high-quality burr walnut veneers. Decorative elements often incorporated boxwood or fruitwood marquetry, secured with hand-cut dovetail drawer joints and finished with French polish.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, original brass or ceramic castors, and subtle natural shrinkage or fine crazing in the veneer finish over time. The undersides and drawer linings generally display unpolished secondary timbers such as pine or oak.

A Victorian writing table can function as a home office desk, a hallway console table, or a dressing table in a bedroom suite. Combining the warm timber tones with clean-lined contemporary artwork or a modern desk chair creates an effective contrast between historical craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the wood. Keep the table positioned away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the veneers from lifting or drying out.
