Antique Victorian Rosewood Side Table | Leather Writing Surface

19th century
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique 19th century early Victorian side table in rosewood, a handsome and well-proportioned piece of good quality, showcasing fine craftsmanship and elegant pierced decoration.

The top is inset with a gilt-tooled leather writing surface within a moulded rosewood border, over a single frieze drawer with a lock and small rosette knobs, the drawer lined with its decorative green patterned paper.

The table stands on a pair of shaped lyre-form end supports pierced and fret-carved with stylised foliage, joined by a ring-turned stretcher with turned finials, and raised on scrolling splayed feet with brass castors.

The rosewood displays a stunning figured grain with bold dark streaks and a warm, rich colour with a lovely mellow patina.

Presented in good condition commensurate with age, the leather showing some marks and staining consistent with use. A very desirable rosewood side table of neat, compact proportions, perfect as a lamp table, small writing table or bedside in any living room, bedroom or hallway.

A Victorian rosewood writing table is an occasional desk produced during the reign of Queen Victoria, characterized by dense, dark timber with distinct grain patterns, a compact silhouette, and often an inset leather surface.

These tables were typically crafted using solid rosewood or rosewood veneers over pine or oak cores, supplemented by leather writing surfaces, brass castors, and iron lock mechanisms.

Authentic pieces feature characteristic hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass castors, genuine grain variations in the rosewood veneer, and period-correct hardware such as cast keyholes.

Place the table as an accent piece beside seating, in a reading nook, or within a hallway, pairing dark timber tones with neutral wall palettes and structured modern lighting.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, avoiding direct sunlight and moisture to prevent veneer lifting or fading.
