Antique Victorian walnut burr-veneered tilting table with central pedestal. England, first half of the 19th century.

Description: Victorian walnut burr-veneered pedestal table with feet terminating in coeval casters. The top has a circular shape enriched in the center and on the edge by a floral motif inlay. The central stem bears a finely carved carving and is supported by three cabriole legs ending with volute leaves and curls. The top can be tilted, hence the name "Sail", to take up less space or stow it away in a corner. Historical notes: The Victorian period refers to the reign of the great Queen Victoria, who ruled England from 1837 to 1901: a period of great changes and better living conditions, these seventy years were also characterized by greater rigor in every aspect of life, including furniture. Thus was born the Victorian style, original and inimitable, which became the quintessential English style, distinctive of the new middle class.
