Antique Victorian Mahogany Writing Table | Turned Legs and Castors

19th century
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique 19th century Victorian writing table in mahogany, an attractive example with elegant proportions and a wonderfully traditional appearance.

Raised on four turned legs with castors, the table has a light and graceful stance while remaining practical to move when required.

A spacious drawer is incorporated neatly beneath the top, providing useful storage and enhanced by decorative brass handles that add an appealing finishing touch. The red writing surface creates a striking contrast against the mahogany and gives the table a distinctive period character.

Beautiful natural figuring can be enjoyed across the timber, complemented by a deep colour that gives the piece plenty of warmth and presence. Presented in good condition, this is a well-made and desirable example that offers both decorative appeal and practical use.

An excellent choice for a study or living space, where it could serve beautifully as a writing desk or occasional work table.

Product Reference : AF - 6418

Measurements : 91.5cm (36") Width x 54cm (21½") Depth x 72.5cm (28½") Height [ 60cm (23½") Knee Height ]

Victorian writing tables typically feature solid timber construction, particularly mahogany or walnut, with turned or carved legs, frieze drawers for stationery storage, and brass castors for mobility.

Mahogany was the primary timber used due to its stability and grain structure, frequently fitted with hand-dovetailed drawer linings, wooden knob handles, and brass castors.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer sides, original turned wooden knobs, natural wear patterns along drawer runners, and period-correct brass hardware.

A Victorian writing table can function as a compact home office desk, an entryway console table, or a dressing table paired with a contemporary mirror.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dust with a soft dry cloth, and apply beeswax polish periodically to preserve the original finish.
