Antique Victorian Burr Walnut Carved Centre Table with Chess Top

19th century
Description

A superb quality antique Victorian burr walnut centre table dating to around 1860. The beautifully figured burr walnut oval top is centred with an inlaid chess board in contrasting walnut and maple veneers, allowing the table to serve equally as an elegant centre table or occasional games table.

The top is supported on a finely turned central stretcher with two elegant carved end supports, each standing on boldly carved cabriole legs with carved acanthus leaf decoration terminating in the original porcelain castors. The shaped stretcher adds both strength and elegance while the exceptional burr walnut veneers display wonderful rich figuring throughout.

A highly decorative and practical Victorian centre table of excellent quality, equally at home in a drawing room, library or reception hall.

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

A Victorian centre games table is a 19th-century accent table designed to sit in the middle of a room or window bay, featuring an inlaid game board such as chess or draughts on its surface for entertainment.

These tables were typically constructed using fine cabinet woods such as burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, with contrasting wood inlays like boxwood and ebony for the chessboard.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery, natural timber patination, hand-cut marquetry or inlay work, and original ceramic or brass castors beneath carved legs.

Position the table in a library, formal living space, or bay window accompanied by a pair of armchairs to create a functional seating area or reading nook.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish periodically, keeping the table away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid veneer warping.
