Inlaid Burr Walnut Writing Table by Holland & Sons
A very fine quality inlaid burr walnut writing table by the prestigious London firm of cabinet makers Holland and Son. Exceptionally well made in solid walnut with stunning burr walnut veneers and of generous proportions. The rectangular top is inset with a sumptuous burgundy red leather writing surface finished with blind and gilt tooled decoration. To the freeze there is a pair of long drawers. The whole table stands on elegant turned and fluted legs which terminate in the original brass and ceramic castors and have carved decorations to the knees. The drawer fronts, sides and back of the table are decorated with satinwood inlay. This table could be free-standing with a room if desired. We have had this splendid table sympathetically repolished to a very high standard in our workshops, it is now offered for sale with a beautiful colour and patina. It is a refined table in excellent condition.

Holland and Sons Antique Furniture (1803 – 1942)
Holland and sons were extremely good cabinet makers and they specialised in fine quality antique furniture. This is why such pieces are so well collected today as if you buy antique furniture by these makers you know you are buying quality. This English antique furniture making firm was founded in 1803 by William Holland and by the middle of 1800s, Holland and sons was one of the main competitions to the furniture makers Gillows, one of the greatest English furniture producers in History.
Original they were cabinet makers and upholsterers called Taprelland Holland but by 1843 they changed to Holland and Sons with William Holland in control, a relative of the well known Regency architect Henry Holland.
The business soon started to expand quickly and by1851 they employed over 350 cabinet makers and by 1852 took on the prestigious firm of Thomas Dowbiggin of 23 Mount Street, London, who had previously made the state throne for Victoria’s Coronation. Holland and Sons worked successfully not only as furniture makers but also as undertakers and became responsible for the Duke of Wellington’s funeral.
William Holland has the firm expanding at a rapid rate and became so well known for its quality in cabinet making, they became cabinetmakers and upholsters to the Queen. Their first commission was for Osborne House in 1845, supplying furniture in the Queen’s favourite style of the time, the Louis XVI style from France. They continued to supply furniture for Osborne and gained further commissions for Windsor Castle, Balmoral and Marlborough House. Holland and sons also worked for many leading institutions such as the reform Club (we have also supplied the reform club with our antique furniture in the past), the British Museum and the new Houses of Parliament. They were part of many of the important international Exhibitions including London in 1862, Vienna in 1873 and Paris in 1867 and 1872. They gained worldwide fame for their magnificent designs and super quality in cabinetmaking right throughout the Victorian era. Holland and sons stayed as a family run business but sadly closed in 1942 when it fell on hard times due to the ever changing world of the time If you would like to view this item please contact us.
