Object Description
A Very Good Quality And Rare Pair Of 19th Century
Victorian Burr Walnut Revolving Book Tables Of
Typical Design Having Superbly Figured Circular
Tops Over Revolving Spindle Galleried Tiers
Crossbanded Throughout With Thuya Wood
Raised On Elegant Downswept Legs
(This pair of book tables are of typical design for
the middle to late 19th century. Specifically designed
to house a small selection of books in the revolving
undertier for ease of access they can often vary wildly
in their quality of materials and construction. These are
exceptional in that respect with the use of the finest
burr walnut veneers and also the thuya wood cross
banded decoration making them really rather striking.
It is also rather unusual to find a pair of these and we think
that they would of course now make the most perfect
pair of occasional tables, lamp tables, wine tables or
any other function which you put your mind to. They
really are very elegant an beautiful indeed.)
