Walnut Reading Table

19th century
Description

Early Victorian figured walnut double sided reading table. The unusual mechanism allows the top to move sideways to sit over a bed or chair. The base has hidden weights to compensate. The height is adjustable via a brass knob. The 2 reading slopes are adjustable and have removable book rests held in place by brass pins with locating brass holes.

This type of table is usually found in oak or mahogany and is particularly unusual in walnut.

The sliding top lends this table for other uses when not reading.
