What is a sorrento inlaid table?

A sorrento inlaid table is a nineteenth-century or early twentieth-century Italian piece decorated with detailed wood veneer pictures and geometric patterns. These tables were often brought back as souvenirs by travellers visiting Italy during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

How do I care for olive wood tables?

Olive wood and walnut surfaces require gentle cleaning with a dry cloth and protection from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Maintaining stable indoor humidity prevents the veneers from lifting. Avoid using harsh chemical polishes or water directly on the inlaid panels to preserve the historic finish.

Where were these tables made?

These pieces originated in Sorrento, a coastal town in southern Italy known for its wood-carving and marquetry workshops. Artisans in the region produced them for local buyers and foreign visitors. Production flourished throughout the nineteenth century as part of the Grand Tour trade.

What woods are used in Sorrento tables?

Maker workshops utilised local and imported timbers including walnut, olive wood, fruitwood, and various mixed hardwood veneers. Contrasting natural wood colours allowed craftsmen to create shaded pictorial designs without paint. Inlay wood selection depended on the specific workshop and the era of production.
