Centre table - Burr walnut - "Sutherland" Vittoriano

Refined "Sutherland" Victorian Walnut Burl Table with Boxwood Inlays – 19th Century
​Lot Description: magnificent living room table from the Victorian era, model "Sutherland", characterized by an extremely elegant space-saving design. The top, with softly rounded edges, is entirely veneered in exquisite walnut burl, selected to create a mirror-like display of natural grains of extraordinary visual beauty.
​Manufacturing Details: the table stands out for the richness of the wood inlays in boxwood (marquetry). In the center and at the four corners of the top lie floral motifs in the form of tendrils and arabesques, finely incised. A double inlaid filet runs along the entire perimeter, framing the rich figure of the burl.
​Structure and Supports: the base is a masterpiece of turning. It rests on two main turned-column supports, joined by a central carved cross member. When the wings are raised, the top is supported by two additional "gate-leg" feet that open smoothly. Everything ends on curved feet with their original ceramic/brass casters, typical of the era, which facilitate moving it.
