This 1930 English Art Deco sectional book table exhibits an innovative asymmetric three-tiered design in warm brown figured walnut. The timber displays prominent swirling wood grain patterns across the octagonal top, the intermediate open shelving and the stepped base, complemented by vertical dividing wood panels that separate the storage sections. Measuring 53 cm high, 61 cm wide and 53 cm deep, the multi-level structure provides practical open compartments accessible from multiple angles. Suitable for positioning at the end of a sofa, beside an armchair or as a freestanding centre piece in a living room or study, the table accommodates books, magazines and display items on its tiers. The professional restoration leaves the veneered surfaces clean and undamaged while preserving the distinctive grain configuration characteristic of the period.

FAQs

An Art Deco sectional book table is an occasional table designed in the 1920s or 1930s featuring structured open shelves or revolving compartments around a central axis to store and display books.

Pieces from this period frequently utilised figured walnut or burr walnut veneers applied over solid timber cores, featuring geometric veneering techniques such as book-matching or quarter-matching.

Authentic period furniture typically displays geometric or Streamline Moderne silhouettes, high-grade wood veneers, solid joinery techniques like dovetailing, and natural signs of age on underside surfaces.

Place the table beside an armchair or sofa, using the open compartments for curated books and finishing the top surface with a mid-century brass lamp or ceramic decorative piece.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish periodically along the grain; avoid placing the piece near direct heat sources or sunlight to prevent grain drying and fading.
