Victorian Burl Walnut Sutherland Table

About the Item

This is a fine example of a Victorian Sutherland table, one of the most intelligent and practical innovations in Victorian furnishing. This table is of gatefold leg design with twin drop down shaped leaves, with solid pedestal legs, united by a turned cross stretcher for added strength. It offers ingeniously narrow dimensions for convenient storage. A remarkably sturdy and robust concept, the Sutherland table was originally designed as a serving table intended to hold an entire tea service. Another feature of the table’s gatefold legs is that they are finished at each end with brass castors. This allow the table to be lifted into position or transferred within a room, with the leaves fully extended, without the risk of the legs catching on a rug or carpet. It is said that the table is named after the influential Victoria socialite Harriet Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, Duchess of Sutherland (1806-1868). A close friend of Queen Victoria.
