This early Edwardian centre table dates from 1890 and is constructed from walnut with boxwood inlay and brass hardware, finished in a warm amber brown polish. The oval top features a central marquetry inlay surrounded by decorative inlay motifs along the edge, raised on a cluster column pedestal base support with turned support pillars, carved splayed quadruped legs, and brass castors. The original polish finish shows natural signs of age consistent with a piece from this period. Practical dimensions measure 71 cm high, 81 cm wide, and 114 cm deep. Such a table serves well as a freestanding centre piece in a living room, drawing room, or hallway, offering a surface for display items, lamps, or books. The tilt top action allows the top to be folded down vertically when not in use, saving floor space in a home study or parlour.

FAQs

Originating during the reign of King Edward VII (19011910), an Edwardian centre table is a freestanding piece of furniture designed to be positioned in the middle of a room, salon, or entry hall. These tables typically feature refined proportions, lighter woodwork, and delicate decorative marquetry inlays compared to heavier Victorian predecessors.

Craftsmen typically utilised high-grade walnut, mahogany, or rosewood veneers applied over solid timber frames. Decorative patterns were created using fine wood marquetry or stringing, often incorporating boxwood, satinwood, or fruitwoods, supported by turned central columns and quadruped pedestal bases.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut marquetry inlays, natural grain variation in the walnut veneers, and period-correct joinery beneath the top frame. Look for hand-carved details on the splayed legs, period brass castors, and age-appropriate wear on the underside of the pedestal base.

An oval centre table serves as a focal point in a spacious foyer, reception hall, or bay window area. Style it with a single ceramic vessel, a collection of art books, or a floral arrangement to create a classic anchor point that contrasts with contemporary decor.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent the wood from drying or warping. Clean the surface using a soft microfibre cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly along the grain to protect the marquetry inlay and maintain the original lustre.
