Antique Victorian Bamboo Occasional Table C.1890

19th century
Description

A late 19th century bamboo occasional table of square form, the decorative original painted japanned top, raised on gently splayed legs united by a lower tier and reinforced with decorative side braces.

The bamboo surfaces display an exceptional vibrancy of colour and the contrast with the attractive, well-worn painted japanned top creates a striking visual effect typical of Aesthetic Movement bamboo furniture of the period.

Very good antique condition with some surface wear consistent with age and use. The lower tier is a later replacement. Structurally sound, clean and ready to place in the home.

English, circa 1890.

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

Victorian bamboo furniture gained widespread popularity during the late 19th century Aesthetic Movement, heavily influenced by East Asian design principles and trade. Cabinetmakers constructed these pieces using natural or scorched bamboo frames paired with lacquered, painted, or textured inserts.

These tables typically feature hollow bamboo canes, often heat-treated or scorched to produce a mottled tortoiseshell appearance. The tops and shelves incorporate wood panels finished with lacquer, woven matting, patterned paper, or embossed leatherette.

Authentic period pieces display joinery made with wooden dowels, pin nails, or woven cane wrapping rather than modern mechanical fasteners. Natural surface wear, uneven cane node spacing, and original patina on the underside of framing indicate 19th-century origin.

A Victorian bamboo table serves as an accent piece next to contemporary upholstered furniture or inside a reading nook. Its tiered structure provides surface area for books, table lamps, or botanical displays.

Keep bamboo furniture positioned away from central heating radiators and direct sunlight to prevent drying or cracking. Wipe surfaces using a soft, dry cloth and apply a light coating of beeswax paste to maintain the timber finish.
