All auctions / Furniture, Design & Mirrors / A Victorian Walnut Miniature Table, circa 1870


Executed primarily in walnut, this fine piece of miniature furniture may have been produced for a grand baby house (dolls house) of the period or even as an apprentice piece by a journeyman furniture maker. Conceived as a centre table with a tilting top, the piece has a circular top with a moulded edge, inlaid to the centre with a very finely executed sixteen pointed star in satinwood and ebony. The inlay has been handled delicately and skilfully and is remarkably flat after all of the intervening years with no signs of lifting as seen on inferior pieces. This sort of parquetry decoration was very popular in this period, including on other surviving miniature pieces. However it is rarely used in such a complex manner on other miniatures-the stars are usually much simpler in design than the present example.
