Description
19th Century (circa 1850) English Victorian antique rosewood sewing and reading table, the hinged top enclosing a fully fitted interior with compartmentalised storage and a central covered well. When opened the top forms a useful reading slope, the original adjustable brass stay allowing the top to be angled as required and the removable book rest (neatly housed inside when not in use) can be fitted into position.
Below, a trumpet-shaped body with fret carved panels to all sides and decoratively shaped supports sits atop a turned pedestal raised on well-carved cabriole legs terminating in brass castors.
An attractive and practical piece, the adjustable reading slope giving it an extra layer of usefulness and appeal beyond standard sewing tables.
Very good antique condition with some surface wear consistent with age and use. Interior later paper-lined. Structurally sound, well presented and complete with its original fittings, clean and ready to place in the home.
