Victorian Rosewood Work Table

19th century
Description

Charming Victorian Work Table in Rosewood.

This sewing table has an almost square top which is edged. The table is supported by a shaped centre column with a four pronged base and bun feet. There is a slide out storage area made of green fabric for wool work and sewing items. This is weighted at the base. Above that there is a drawer. The pretty drawer handles are brass on the back and front of the table. There is an open key hole on the front but, unfortunately, no key. There is a brass keyhole surround on the back as well as the handles.

In very good condition throughout with good patina. There are no stains on the surface of the wood. Slight wear to the base edges as one would expect given the age of the piece but barely visible. The bun feet are in very good condition. The green fabric is also in good condition.

This is not only a useful table but is still functional for present day use.

This Victorian rosewood work table is a functional side table designed for sewing and wool work. The dark brown timber has a warm patina and an edged, almost square top above a single drawer. Two octagonal brass ring handles and an open brass-surrounded keyhole adorn the drawer front, while the rear features a matching keyhole surround. Below the drawer sits a gathered, pleated light green fabric storage basket with a weighted base. A shaped central pedestal column supports the structure, resting upon a four-pronged plinth base fitted with small bun feet. The piece stands 67.5 cm high and 39.5 cm wide. In a modern interior, this versatile table functions well beside a sofa or chair in a living room, study, or bedroom. The top provides a convenient surface for a lamp or small decor items, while the drawer and fabric basket offer practical hidden storage for small accessories, craft supplies, or reading materials. The compact footprint makes it suitable for placement in smaller alcoves or tight corners while maintaining traditional English country house character.

Popular in the 19th century, a Victorian rosewood work table was designed primarily for storing needlework, sewing implements, and craft supplies, typically incorporating a shallow drawer above a fabric sewing basket.

These tables were commonly constructed using dark hardwoods such as rosewood or mahogany veneers, fitted with hand-dovetailed drawers, decorative brass handles, and fabric-lined sewing wells attached to a pedestal base.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints inside the drawers, original brass keyhole escutcheons or handles, natural timber figure, and hand-carved details along the pedestal and platform feet.

An antique work table functions effectively as a compact side table or bedside unit in modern living spaces, adding textural interest and historical character alongside contemporary furnishings.

Position the piece away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent wood movement or veneer lifting, and wax the timber periodically using a soft cloth and clear beeswax polish.
