London City Antiques has dated this Victorian Walnut Sutherland Table to the 1860s.
This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.
The two drop leaves can be raised to create a generous occasional table or lowered to form an exceptionally slim piece of furniture when not in use.
The table stands on beautifully carved and turned walnut supports, featuring elegant bulbous columns, scrolling feet and decorative turned stretchers. Slender spiral-turned supports beneath the leaves complement the more substantial outer legs, demonstrating the quality and attention to detail of Victorian cabinetmaking.
Sutherland tables became particularly fashionable during the Victorian period, admired for their ingenious folding design and versatility. Their ability to provide additional table space while occupying very little room when closed made them especially popular in drawing rooms and sitting rooms.
This attractive example would make a wonderful antique side table, occasional table or compact breakfast table, equally suited to a traditional country house or contemporary interior. Its exceptionally narrow profile when closed makes it particularly useful for smaller rooms, hallways or positioning against a wall.
A delightful and highly versatile piece of Victorian walnut furniture, combining decorative craftsmanship, elegant proportions and practical functionality.
Condition Report
Very good antique condition, with beautifully figured walnut, rich colour and attractive patina. The shaped drop leaves, carved supports, turned stretchers and scrolling feet present well, with minor age-related marks and wear consistent with its period.
