Victorian Eastlake Marble-Top Parlor Table with Carved Walnut Base c.1880
Annihilate the landfill, bring home 140 years of solid craftsmanship instead of IKEA particle board
This is the real deal: a genuine Eastlake-era parlor table with its original white Carrara marble top still intact. The walnut base sports all the hallmarks — incised geometric carving, reeded legs, turned spindle stretchers, and those signature splayed feet. Someone painted it cream at some point (Victorian revival moment, perhaps?), but the carved details read beautifully through the patina. Marble shows honest age with gentle gray veining and minor surface wear. Structurally sound and ready for another century of holding your coffee.
The D'Beetle Difference
• Original Carrara Marble Top: Thick beveled slab with characteristic gray veining, — just the gentle patina of 140 years of use.
• Classic Eastlake Carved Details: Incised leaf patterns, geometric apron cutouts, reeded legs, and turned spindle stretchers showcase the era's love of machine-assisted ornamentation. Four splayed legs with finial drop.
• Painted Finish With Character: Cream/ivory paint over original walnut — could be stripped for purists or embraced as-is for cottage charm. Some paint loss reveals warm wood beneath.
