Burr walnut refers to the swirling figure that most walnut has when it is cut and polished, particularly that wood that is taken from the area where the trunk joins the roots of the tree. However, true burr is a rare growth that occurs on walnut trees where hundreds of tiny branches have started to sprout. This type of wood produces some of the most beautiful and complex figurings that can be found in any wood grain.
This antique marquetry writing table is in an exceptional condition having been fully refurbished in our workshops. You can observe this in the photos we have supplied in our gallery. Kindly take a few minutes to take a look at them and assure yourself of this.
