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.

This Edwardian book trough stand belongs to the period around 1910, following a gentleman's library design style. The piece has a warm brown mahogany timber construction with satinwood line inlay. Visible details include two sloped angled troughs positioned at the top and bottom, a central flat shelf, end supports decorated with pierced heart cut-outs, tapered square legs, and original brass and pottery castors. The stand measures 94 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 29.5 cm deep. In a modern home, this functional tier stand is suited for placement at the end of a sofa or beside an armchair to hold books, magazines, or periodicals. Because the freestanding furniture piece is finished on all sides, it sits comfortably within an open room plan rather than pushed strictly against a wall. The compact footprint makes it practical for smaller reading spaces while offering dual storage levels within easy reach.

FAQs

An Edwardian book trough table is a piece of occasional furniture designed around the turn of the 20th century to display and store books on angled shelves while providing a flat surface for reading accessories.

These pieces were primarily constructed from solid mahogany or rosewood, frequently embellished with satinwood or boxwood string inlay, and fitted with small brass castors for mobility.

Authentic examples feature genuine hand-cut joinery, original brass castors, natural wood grain variation, and era-appropriate motifs such as pierced heart cut-outs or geometric satinwood inlay.

Position the stand adjacent to an armchair or sofa in a living area or study, utilising the lower and upper troughs to display hardback books alongside decorative objects on the central surface.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and applying beeswax polish periodically, while keeping the timber away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators.
