Centre table - Burr walnut - "Sutherland" Vittoriano

Refined Table "Sutherland" Ventorian (Victorian) in Walnut Burl 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 fine walnut burl, selected to create a mirror-like play of natural grain patterns of extraordinary visual beauty.
​Manufacturing Details: the table stands out for the richness of the boxwood inlays (marquetry). At the center and at the four corners of the top there are floral motifs in the shape of tendrils and arabesques, finely incised. A double inlaid edge runs along the entire perimeter, framing the rich blaze of the burl.
​Structure and Supports: the base is a masterpiece of turning. It rests on two main turned-column supports, united by a central worked crosspiece. When the leaves are raised, the top is supported by two additional "gate-leg" supports that unfold smoothly. The whole ends in scrolled feet, fitted with their original ceramic/brass wheels, typical of the period, which ease movement.
