Exceptional Burled Walnut Work Table

Collectibles : Sewing

 

Exceptional walnut Renaissance Revival Victorian work table or sewing cabinet. The shaped top was made with two pieces of book matched burled veneer giving it a beautiful vibrant quality. The top drawer has a concaved front with a shaped burled panel in the middle. The gorgeous interior is made of a light satinwood and features a number of small compartments. The underside of the lid has incise carved corners. A "secret" button in the top middle allows this lid to fall down exposing a desk top with the original blue fabric - looks like it was hardly ever used! A fancy gilt border surrounds the edge. This is all bordered by a darker satinwood. There is an original mirror under the lid (see photos). There is a pull out "basket" that drops down from under the top drawer. This has had a pleated fabric attached to it and has a wooden base to hold the fabric down. When this basket is removed you can see the lovely carved and burled bottom stretcher. Both the interior and exterior of the sides are handsomely decorated with carved rosettes, fluting, burled panels, and carvings. The stand retains the original rich patina with black accents. This is one of the best work tables we have ever offered for sale! Circa: 1870 Dimensions: 21"H x 25"W x 19"D Finish: Excellent original finish and patina Price: $4850.00
