This Victorian mahogany Sutherland table dates from 1880 in the English Country House style. Constructed from dark brown timber with a polished finish, the piece includes drop leaves, slatted end supports, splay feet, and brass castors. The design incorporates a drop-leaf mechanism and tapered legs, while the structure operates with hinged leaves that fold down to save space when not in use. It measures 66 cm high, 84 cm wide when fully open, and 69 cm deep, with a closed width of 20 cm. Suitable for use as a coffee table, end table, or hall table, this side table fits well at the end of a sofa in a living room, hallway, or study. The compact footprint when closed allows it to sit neatly against a wall or in a narrow space, expanding readily to provide a larger surface area when the leaves are raised. The traditional timber construction and mobility provided by the castors make it practical for flexible placement throughout the home.

FAQs

A Sutherland table is a specialized type of compact drop-leaf table introduced during the mid-nineteenth century, named after Harriet Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, Duchess of Sutherland. It features unusually narrow central tops and deep hinged flaps supported by pivoting gatelegs, making it a space-saving solution for Victorian tea drinking and side table use.

Victorian examples were predominantly constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut. They feature rule-jointed drop leaves, hand-turned or slatted dual end supports connected by a low stretcher, and concealed brass or ceramic castors set into splayed legs.

Authentic pieces exhibit distinctive nineteenth-century construction hallmarks, including hand-cut dovetails on internal rails, iron or brass rule-joint hinges on the leaves, original brass castors, and heavy solid wood or thick veneer cut from period timbers.

Due to its narrow proportion when folded, a Sutherland table can be placed behind a sofa, positioned in a compact hallway, or used as an adaptable side table in a reading nook that expands when additional surface area is required.

Preserve the finish by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish along the grain once or twice a year. Keep the table away from direct heat sources and high humidity to prevent timber movement or leaf warping.
