A Stunning Walnut and Marquetry Centre Table

19th century
Description

A Stunning Walnut and Marquetry Centre Table.

The Table is Octagonal in Shape with a Central Marquetry Panel.

The Border Also with Marquetry Panels Set in Ebony.

The Frieze of the Table Being of Burr Yew Wood with Rosewood Cross-banding.

The Wonderful Base Being Typical of an "Edward Holmes Baldock" Design.

The Base also Features Marquetry Panels.

The Table is of Wonderful Quality and Presented in Good Antique Condition.

Size:

Height 29 1/2" (75cm)

Width 53 1/2" (136 cm)

Depth 53 1/2" (136cm)

This type of table is also associated to Edward Holmes Baldock (whom we have attributed this table to) who was a fashionable London art dealer, furniture maker and restorer of Hanway Street and probably the most distinguished dealer of his day. The inlay and marquetry on this table is most likely to have been undertaken by The Blake Family upon instructions from Baldock.

Edward Holmes Baldock (1777-1845)

Born on the 14th May 1777 he established his business in 1805 in Hanway Street which over the years he expanded at this location. He soon was a prominent London furniture dealer to several members of the Royal Family and is responsible for supplying French-fashioned furniture to the 5th Duke of Buccleuch.

Edwards Holmes Baldock’s pieces have become a prized possession amongst collectors, museums (V&A included) and dealers alike.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A marquetry centre table is a freestanding item of furniture crafted during the 19th century, designed to sit in the middle of a room, foyer, or grand hallway. These pieces typically feature intricate floral or geometric wood inlays on the tabletop and are supported by a decorative central pedestal base.

These tables are primarily constructed using high-grade timber bases such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, overlaid with fine veneers like burr walnut. Marquetry techniques involve inserting contrasting pieces of stained or natural hardwoods, bone, or brass into the veneer to create detailed patterns.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut veneer work, period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails on tilt-top mechanisms, and natural patina or slight shrinkage lines in the wood consistent with age. Castors, underside construction, and original brass fittings also help confirm authenticity.

Place the table as a focal point in a spacious entry hall or central living area to highlight its decorative top. Pair it with contemporary minimalist seating or minimalist lighting to create a refined contrast between historical craftsmanship and modern design.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent the thin marquetry veneers from lifting or cracking. Clean dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to preserve the natural finish.
