Sutherland table is a folding table whose top is so narrow that, when folded, it can be stood against a wall without taking up much space. When the leaves are swung up to sit on their gate-legs, it becomes large enough to be a small breakfast table. The earliest versions were commonly solid mahogany, later ones sometimes veneered,often with bird’s-eye maple, but various woods were used, including burr walnut yew and fruitwood.
First recorded in about 1850, almost exactly 100 years after the similar Pembroke was first made, they were named after Harriet, the Duchess of Sutherland (1806 to 1868), and reached their height of popularity in the late 19th century.
Rosewood
is a rich warm reddish brown wood that has a distinct grain with dark brown and black outlining. One variety of Rosewood can vary significantly from another even though it is of the same species. These Rosewoods, native of India, South East Asia and Brazil, were dense and awkward to work with. It was renowned for quickly bluntening cutting tools and visibly darkening in colour when over prepared.
The Brazilian species of Rosewood was by far the most beautifully figured and therefore it became the most sought after and rare. This was the wood of choice for the great box makers, David and Thomas Edwards who used it to veneer some of their finest pieces.
