What is an antique sewing table?

An antique sewing table is a small nineteenth century piece designed with internal compartments and sometimes a fabric bag to hold needlework supplies. These tables frequently feature drop flaps and pedestal bases supported by carved feet.

How do I date a work table?

Dating relies on stylistic markers such as Regency classical lines or Victorian proportions combined with timber choices like rosewood and mahogany. Cabinet construction methods and the presence of specific brass or carved details help narrow the period.

What woods were used?

Mahogany and rosewood dominate these pieces, often utilised as flame mahogany veneers over solid carcase timbers. Satinwood and other decorative hardwoods appear occasionally for interior crossbanding and details.

Were these tables only for sewing?

While primarily built as work tables for needlework, many designs incorporated drop leaves and reversible tops for games or general side table use. Interiors often served multiple domestic purposes in the nineteenth century parlour.
