Victorian Burr Walnut Inlaid Loo Table

19th century
For Sale by FB Antiques
Description

Victorian Burr Walnut Inlaid Loo Table

Item Code: LC1458

A handsome Victorian burr walnut loo table of generous proportions, featuring an oval tilting top raised on an attractive carved pedestal base.

The beautifully figured burr walnut top is quarter veneered and decorated with fine inlaid detail, including a continuous ribbon-style border with scrolling foliate motifs. The warm colouring and highly figured grain give the top considerable decorative appeal, while the moulded edge and shaped apron add further interest.

The table is supported on a substantial turned and carved central pedestal, above four sweeping cabriole-style legs terminating in scrolling feet with castors. The top tilts vertically when not in use, allowing the table to be displayed decoratively as well as used practically within a dining room, drawing room or entrance hall.

A decorative and versatile Victorian table with strong visual presence and attractive burr walnut figuring throughout.

FAQs

A loo table was designed during the 18th and 19th centuries specifically for playing Loo, a popular card game of the era. These tables typically feature an oval or circular top attached to a central pedestal base with a tilting mechanism, allowing the table to be stored vertically against a wall when not in use.

Victorian craftsmen favoured burr walnut wood cut from the root nodules of the walnut tree for its distinctive swirling grain patterns. Veneers were applied over sturdy solid timber frames, frequently featuring decorative marquetry or boxwood stringing inlay, balanced on turned or carved timber pedestals.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-cut brass tilt-latch mechanisms, original iron or brass castors beneath carved legs, and naturally aged timber undersides with hand-saw marks. Veneers on authentic pieces show age-appropriate patina and subtle shrinkage marks along the grain lines.

A Victorian loo table can serve as a focal point in an entryway or foyer, function as an occasional dining or breakfast table, or be positioned in a living room bay window. When placed in modern settings, the rich walnut grain provides contrast against contemporary neutral wall tones.

Maintain a consistent room humidity to prevent timber shrinkage and veneer lifting. Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically, avoiding modern silicone-based sprays, direct sunlight, and placement near heat sources.
