Dealers Notes

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.

This Victorian centre or breakfast table dates from around 1850 and is formed from rosewood with walnut, kingwood and boxwood inlay. The circular top displays rich dark brown grain tones, accented by an outer floral marquetry border and a matching central medallion. The structure incorporates a tilt-top mechanism, a faceted column support, a platform base, and three carved lion paw feet fitted with original concealed castors. The item shows visible losses to the edge crossbanding on the top and platform, and requires repolishing. The table has a diameter of 137.2 cm and stands 75.5 cm high, splitting into two sections for transport. In a contemporary home, this table serves as a statement piece in a spacious hallway, library or reception room. The tilt-top design allows the surface to be stowed upright against a wall when floor space is needed, while the flat platform base provides sturdy support. The traditional English country house aesthetic makes it suitable for period interiors or as a contrasting focal point in a modern setting. The combination of intricate floral motifs and heavy carved feet offers both functional surface space and significant decorative presence for everyday use.

FAQs

Popularised during the nineteenth century, Victorian centre tables were designed to sit in the middle of a hallway or room, frequently featuring intricate marquetry inlays, a circular top, and a solid pedestal base.

High-quality examples feature dense rosewood or mahogany timber veneers inlaid with contrasting woods such as boxwood or holly to form floral motifs, set upon a turned pedestal and carved tripod base.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut wood veneers, natural timber grain variations, brass tilt-top latch mechanisms, and hand-carved details on the pedestal legs rather than uniform machine moulding.

Position the table in an entrance hall to create a focal point, or integrate it into a formal living room alongside contemporary seating to establish a contrast between period woodwork and modern design.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent veneer lifting, and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically with a soft cloth to protect the timber finish.
