This walnut tea table follows a Queen Anne design from the nineteenth century, rendered in a warm brown timber finish. The piece presents a fold-over top with a shaped double edge, a contoured frieze with a curved apron, and spindle-turned legs joined by a lower box stretcher. Visible details include rounded ball feet beneath each leg and a swivel mechanism that allows the rear leg to swing out while the top flips open to expand the surface area. The table stands 76 cm high, 76 cm wide, and 30 cm deep. Suitable for placement against a narrow wall space in a living room, hallway, or bedroom, this side table functions effectively as a lamp table or occasional display surface within an English Country House interior scheme. The compact proportions allow it to fit comfortably in restricted spaces while providing an extendable top surface when required for entertaining.

FAQs

Emerging in the early eighteenth century, Queen Anne style tea tables were designed specifically for serving tea, featuring fold-over tops, contoured friezes, and elegant leg profiles to suit formal social entertaining.

These tables typically utilise figured walnut veneers over solid timber carcases, featuring hand-shaped friezes, turned legs, perimeter box stretchers, and double-leaf tops connected by brass hinges.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-cut joinery, natural timber grain variation, authentic patination along touchpoints, and functional gate-leg or fold-out support mechanisms for the extension leaf.

Position the closed table against a wall as a narrow console or hall table topped with a decorative lamp, or unfold the hinged leaf when additional surface area is required during gatherings.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement, and clean liquid spills immediately using a dry cotton cloth.
