Why Hawkins Antiques?

Description

EARLY VICTORIAN  ·  CIRCA 1850  ·  FIGURED ROSEWOOD

An early Victorian rosewood work table with two drop leaves, carved drawers and a substantial central pedestal raised on four lion’s paw feet.

The richly figured top shows dark, swirling grain against warm reddish-brown rosewood. At just 43 cm wide with both leaves lowered, the table sits neatly beside a chair or sofa. Raising the leaves extends the top to 72 cm wide.

Key Characteristics

  • Richly figured rosewood top with gently rounded corners
  • Two hinged drop leaves extending the width from 43 cm to 72 cm
  • Two drawers with carved foliate ornament and floral wooden knobs
  • Pendant acanthus carving at the corners of the drawer compartment
  • Turned and carved central pedestal
  • Four carved supports terminating in lion’s paw feet

Figured Rosewood & Drop Leaves

Swirling dark grain is particularly pronounced across the rectangular top. The hinged leaves fold down neatly on either side of the drawer compartment, giving the table a compact profile for use beside a seat or as a lamp table. With both leaves raised, the top provides extra room for needlework or other small projects.

Drawers & Carved Detail

The two drawers are decorated with carved foliage, with finer scrollwork on the upper drawer and a bolder foliate motif on the deeper lower drawer. Circular wooden knobs are carved with floral detail, while pendant acanthus leaves soften the corners of the drawer compartment.

Carved Pedestal & Lion’s Paw Feet

The turned central column broadens into a deeply carved knop before meeting the four-part base. Scrolls and acanthus leaves continue along the projecting supports, each of which ends in a boldly carved lion’s paw foot. The base gives this compact work table much of its presence and reflects the Regency influence on early Victorian furniture.

I found Hawkin’s website when looking for an antique cabinet online. I found the perfect piece, ordered it and it had arrived a week later! Free shipping, great communication and 2 guys who carried it in the house and assembled it. Great service, I will be using again in the future. Thank you!

Purchased a beautiful 19th century French kingwood display cabinet from Hawkins Antiques. I am delighted with my purchase and would love to purchase from here again in the future! Lee provided excellent communication with very quick and thorough responses. Delivery was arranged extremely quickly and the delivery duo did a brilliant job up a narrow staircase, getting the cabinet into position safely and without issue. Highly recommend Lee and all at Hawkins Antiques!

Chloe Frost

We purchased a table from Hawkins Antique and it is absolutely stunning and a mint condition! Delivery was very fast and the delivery team were fantastic and really went the extra mile to get the table into the house - it wasn't simple due to our narrow front door, but the guys managed to get it in, keeping the table safe along the way! Highly recommend - very happy! Made another purchase already!
