FAQs

Originating in the 19th century, a Victorian breakfast table is typically a round or oval table designed to seat four to six people, featuring a central pedestal base and frequently incorporating a tilt-top mechanism for space-saving storage when not in use.

These tables typically feature solid walnut or mahogany structural elements topped with highly figured burr walnut veneers, assembled using traditional joinery, turned central columns, and hand-carved quadrapod bases with brass castors.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display genuine book-matched veneers showing natural figure variations, hand-carved details with age-appropriate wear, original castors, and period-appropriate fixings or hand-cut screws underneath the tabletop.

A Victorian oval table functions as a focal point in a contemporary dining space when paired with modern seating, or positioned in a wide entry hall to showcase sculptural decorative objects.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically to protect the veneer, ensuring the piece is kept away from direct heat sources and humid environments to prevent wood movement and veneer separation.
