Victorian Walnut Parlor Table with Greek Key Inlay, Splayed Legs & Lower Shelf
Annihilate the landfill, rescue a parlor piece that's survived 130 years of tea service
This is the real deal: a late Victorian parlor table with genuine marquetry inlay work that someone painstakingly assembled by hand over a century ago. The Greek key border pattern in satinwood against walnut veneer is crisp and largely intact, with a center diamond medallion that anchors the whole composition. Four elegantly splayed legs meet at a shaped lower shelf. Yes, there's wear on the legs and some minor surface scratches—this table has lived. But the inlay work alone is worth the rescue.
The D'Beetle Difference • Hand-Inlaid Greek Key Marquetry: Satinwood and walnut veneer inlay in a continuous Greek key border pattern, plus a central diamond medallion. This is skilled period craftsmanship, not printed decoration.
• Classic Victorian Proportions: Perfect scale for a plant stand, entry table, or beside a reading chair without dominating the space.
• Structurally Sound Four-Leg Base: Gracefully curved splayed legs with a shaped lower shelf for books or display. Some scuffing and minor paint spots on legs consistent with 100+ years of honest use.
