Fine Quality Victorian Walnut Kidney Shaped Writing Table

19th century
For Sale by Andros Antiques
Description

This very fine quality Victorian Walnut Kidney Shaped Writing Table is English made in the French taste. The Walnut veneer is offset by a contrasting cross grained moulding to the top. The brass mounts are of a good weight and finely cast.

With not a straight line anywhere in the design of this piece it would have taken a very accomplished cabinet maker to produce it. The generous sweeping lines are only emphasized by the flow of the brass mounts that match the curvature.

The whole piece is topped off by a distressed Apple Green Hide Top. With a drawer for storage adorned with one of the most generously shaped handles I have seen, this table would make a real statement wherever it is placed. Being finished all round, it can be placed anywhere in a room.

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

Originating in 18th-century France and widely adapted during the Victorian era, kidney-shaped writing tables feature a curved silhouette designed to surround the user. These pieces frequently incorporate high-quality wood veneers, gilt metal mounts, and inset leather writing surfaces.

Victorian cabinetmakers commonly utilised dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood. Decorative elements often featured gilt-brass or bronze ormolu mounts, accompanied by gold-tooled leather inserts on the desktop.

Authentic period writing desks display hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, natural wood oxidation inside timber cavities, and hand-cast brass hardware with age-appropriate patina.

Place the table floating in an open-plan room or study to highlight its curved back and sides. Pair it with a streamlined minimalist desk chair or modern task lighting to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Clean timber surfaces with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax periodically in the direction of the grain. Protect the leather top from direct sunlight and moisture, treating it with specialised leather balm to prevent drying or cracking.
