Antique Victorian Burr Walnut Oval Centre Dining Table 6 Seater Tilt Top

19th century
Description

An antique Victorian burr walnut centre or dining table of excellent quality with a beautifully figured oval top. The burr walnut veneer displays exceptional symmetrical figuring with rich colour and depth giving the piece real presence.

The table stands on a substantial turned central column with carved detail flowing down to elegant cabriole legs with carved accents and original ceramic castors. The proportions are well judged offering both presence and practicality as a six seater dining table while also working perfectly as a centre table.

A particularly desirable feature is the tilt top mechanism allowing the top to be raised vertically when not in use. This was a practical Victorian solution to save space and protect the surface and today adds versatility for modern living.

A decorative yet highly usable piece ideal for both classic and contemporary interiors and a strong example of mid 19th century craftsmanship.

Condition

Very good antique condition with a rich polished finish. Minor age related marks to the top as expected. The tilt mechanism works well and the base is solid and stable.

FAQs

A Victorian burr walnut tilt-top centre table is a 19th-century dining or accent table constructed with a top surface that tilts vertically on a brass latch mechanism, historically designed to clear floor space in grand drawing rooms when not in use.

These tables typically feature burr walnut veneers selected for highly figured grain patterns, applied over solid timber cores. The tops rest on a solid carved walnut or mahogany pedestal base supported by four splayed cabriole legs, often fitted with original brass castors.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-finished brass tilt mechanisms under the tabletop, natural grain symmetry such as quarter-bookmatching in the veneer, subtle hand-carving details on the pedestal, and original castors securing the feet.

Position the table vertically against a focal wall to accentuate the decorative wood figure when space is required, or place it centrally in a dining room surrounded by contemporary or period dining chairs.

Preserve the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying high-grade beeswax twice a year. Keep the table away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme changes in humidity to avoid veneer splitting or lifting.
