19th Century Burr Walnut Circular Occasional Book Table Victorian

19th century
Description

A Very Good Quality And Extremely Attractive Victorian Late 19th Century Burr Walnut Occasional Table, Commonly Known As A Book Table, Having Superbly Figured Circular Top Over Revolving Spindle Galleried Tier, With Turned Central Column, Raised On Attractive Downswept Tripod Legs

This style of revolving book table perfectly encapsulates the Victorian desire to combine elegance with practicality. The lower rack is intended to keep books, newspapers and periodicals neatly organised and readily to hand, whilst the circular top provides a convenient surface for reading, writing or taking refreshments. Today these wonderfully versatile pieces remain just as useful, making ideal lamp tables or occasional tables whilst offering an attractive and unusual solution for displaying books and magazines within the home.

This example is of particularly good quality and well constructed, boasting wonderfully figured burr walnut veneers to the circular top. It also remains in very good condition with no major damage to speak of, which isn't always the case with these practical pieces of functional furniture which have often been very heavily used throughout their lives. 

As with all items which we offer for sale, this piece has been inspected and attended to within our workshops by our highly skilled antique furniture restorers. It has received a natural wax polish and is therefore presented in excellent condition, ready for immediate placement within the home following purchase.

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.
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.
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.

Designed during the 19th century, occasional book tables served as multi-functional accent furniture for drawing rooms or libraries, combining a top surface with integrated lower tiers or galleries to hold literature.

These pieces were typically crafted from solid hardwoods and decorative veneers such as burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, incorporating turned spindle galleries and central pedestal supports.

Authentic pieces feature hand-turned spindle balustrades, traditional joinery techniques, original tripod bases, and natural age patination across the timber finish.

Position the piece beside an armchair in a reading alcove or living space, using the upper surface for a table lamp and displaying hardback volumes within the lower compartments.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically to protect the timber grain, keeping the item away from direct heat and moisture.
