Antique Victorian Burr Walnut & Ebonised Piano Topped Carved Duchess Dressing Table with Mirror C1860

19th century
Description

Antique Burr Walnut & Ebonised Duchess Piano Topped Dressing Table.

An outstandingly grand and elegant dressing table.

We are delighted to bring to you this truly fantastic Victorian Duchess dressing table made around C1860 in figured burr Walnut complemented with black ebonised embellishments.

This grand dressing table features beautiful Burr Walnut book-matched veneer to the whole frontage which is complemented by its unusual ebonised edges. Either side of this dressing table are 2 small three draw jewellery compartments affixed to the top which the ornate fretwork carved mirror supports stand on to support the mirror. The adjustable tilt mirror is working perfectly and holds well at angles and is complete with its original glass which has very minimal pitting.

Below the dressing tables stunning Burr Walnut top are 2 larger dovetail constructed very useful drawers. Flanking either side are 2 turned and fluted pillars with carved collars which descend to a larger curved shaped lower shelf which stands on little bun feet.

This dressing table has been sympathetically restored maintaining original patina, signs of age and has a lovely rich original colour and beautiful highly glazed French polished finish. We carefully waxed this item to give a natural sheen, preserve and protect the item.

Please note this item is in very good condition for its age but will have the odd blemish here and there. We feel that these points are which adds to its charm and character.

Also note, any items placed on or around the item are not included, sale is for the dressing table only.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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 duchess dressing table is a 19th-century design characterised by an integrated central swing mirror flanked by raised jewel or trinket drawers, resting upon a shaped base with turned or carved front legs.

Craftsmen during the mid-Victorian era frequently utilised dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood, often applying decorative burr veneers, ebony inlay, and silvered glass mirrors.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, hand-turned support legs, natural timber shrinkage marks, original castors, and silvered glass showing light age-related desilverisation.

Place the piece in a bedroom or dressing area as a focal point, pairing the rich timber tones with neutral wall palettes, minimal modern ceramics, or understated lighting to balance the detailed woodwork.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent drying or fading.
