About this product
19th Century Walnut Baby Sutherland Table
Generally Baby Sutherland tables are one of our best selling articles and can be regarded as one of the most elegant, but at the same time incredibly practical pieces of antique 19th century furniture available.
This particular one is veneered with attractive well figured walnut veneers and also boasts some lovely marquetry inlaid decoration. Another key feature is the single turned end supports which terminate with true cabriole legs, a feature that is rarely found and commonly regarded as the nicest and most elegant available.
It stands at coffee table height, which means that with both flaps raised it makes a great portable coffee table with the additional bonus of being able to have its flaps folded down and can be tucked away when not in use, taking up effectively no floor space whatsoever of consequence.
The term “Sutherland Table” is believed to originate from the first full size, non “baby” variants of these tables being named after The Duchess Of Sutherland, Mistress Of The Robes To Queen Victoria.
