Antique Victorian Burr Walnut Sideboard Cabinet with Floral Marquetry Credenza

19th century
Description

A magnificent antique Victorian burr walnut bow front sideboard cabinet credenza, beautifully constructed from the finest figured burr walnut with wonderfully unusual burr walnut bow ends. Dating from around 1850, this exceptional cabinet is decorated with exquisite floral marquetry to the frieze, centre door and outer uprights, complemented by finely cast gilded brass mounts that enhance its elegant proportions.

The shaped top sits above a central cupboard flanked by two bow front cupboards, each opening to reveal the original rich crimson fabric-lined interior with shelving, providing excellent practical storage. The combination of vibrant burr walnut veneers, intricate marquetry and quality ormolu mounts makes this a particularly striking example of Victorian cabinet making.

This is a piece of outstanding quality with superb colour, beautifully figured timbers and excellent craftsmanship throughout. Equally at home in a traditional or contemporary interior, it would make an impressive statement as a sideboard, drinks cabinet or hall cabinet.

Condition Report:

The burr walnut veneers retain a wonderful rich colour and figuring, the marquetry is crisp, the gilded brass mounts are original, and the interior retains its original crimson lining.

This Victorian bow front credenza dates from around 1850 and is constructed from warm brown burr walnut with wood marquetry and gilt bronze mounts. The cabinet has a shaped top above a central cupboard flanked by two curved side doors, decorated with floral marquetry inlays to the frieze, centre door, and outer uprights. Finely cast gilded brass mounts accent the exterior, while the interior contains shelving lined with crimson fabric. The entire piece stands on a shaped plinth base and measures 104 cm high, 151 cm wide, and 40.5 cm deep. Positioned in a hallway or dining area, this credenza serves as a functional sideboard or drinks cabinet within a traditional or contemporary interior. The burr walnut veneers display rich figuring and colour, complemented by crisp marquetry and original gilded brass hardware. Minor surface marks and wear consistent with careful antique use are present on the cabinet.

FAQs

A Victorian burr walnut credenza is a low, wide storage cabinet characterized by the use of highly figured burr walnut veneer, frequently adorned with floral marquetry inlays and gilt bronze mounts. These pieces were prominent in mid-to-late nineteenth-century dining rooms and drawing rooms for serving and storage.

Victorian cabinetmakers utilised foundational timbers such as mahogany or pine, overlaid with decorative burr walnut veneers. Inlays were crafted using contrasting hardwoods like boxwood, fruitwood, and ebony, complemented by cast brass or gilt bronze mountings.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, thick hand-cut veneers, and original brass or steel locks. The marquetry should display natural variations in grain alignment, and any gilt bronze ormolu mounts typically exhibit age-appropriate oxidisation and cast details on the underside.

Place the credenza against a neutral or rich background wall to showcase the walnut grain. Balance the substantial proportion of the cabinet by displaying contemporary artwork above it or placing structured ceramics on the top surface.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer cracking or bleaching. Dust regularly with a clean microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the finish.
