This Victorian centre table is a piece of furniture in solid oak with a mellow pine top, finished in a warm brown colour with a deep patination and wax finish. The octagonal top has an original dry finish displaying marks from its history as a rent table. Below the top, four oak-lined frieze drawers are fitted with small turned wooden knobs. The base consists of a central turned pedestal supported by four splayed sweeping legs with platformed feet. The table stands 77 cm high, 77 cm wide, and 119 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this table functions as a central centre table or a study table suited for a study, library, or living room. It provides a flat surface for display and storage space within its four drawers. The traditional design and timber construction allow it to blend into period interiors or serve as a functional statement piece in a workspace.

FAQs

Dust regularly with a dry cloth, apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year following the grain, and keep the table away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.

Position the table as a central focal point in an entryway or foyer, or set it in a corner or home office to serve as an occasional writing desk or lamp table.

Look for authentic signs of period manufacturing including hand-cut dovetail joints inside the frieze drawers, original turned timber knobs, and natural patination across the wooden surface.

These tables were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring hand-dovetailed frieze drawers, turned central pedestals, and quadform splayed legs.

Originating in the 18th and 19th centuries, drum or rent tables are circular or polygonal tables with deep friezes containing multiple drawers, traditionally used by land agents to collect tenant rents and organise record books.
