ABOUT PRODUCTID 5337
This late 19th-century sewing table (known as a 'niciak') exemplifies Northern European eclectic craftsmanship, constructed from walnut wood in a warm, medium brown tone. The grain of the wood is clearly visible, accentuated by a semi-gloss finish that enhances depth without excessive shine. The hinged tabletop opens to reveal a carefully organized interior, featuring multiple compartments—each with its own small wooden knob—designed for storing sewing accessories or small valuables. The table stands on four turned, lathe-carved legs with bulbous and ringed details, connected by decorative stretchers that provide stability and lighten the silhouette. Traditional joinery methods are evident in the visible hinges and a front lock, referencing the artisanal techniques of the late 1800s. Its compact dimensions (height 55 cm, width 52 cm, depth 38 cm) make it versatile as a side table or decorative accent. Condition: professionally restored, with no visible signs of wear; all elements, including knobs and fittings, appear original to the period. In its form, this table tells of an era when daily life revolved around small, meaningful routines—when the sewing table was an essential companion for keeping order among threads, notions, and personal projects. The warm walnut tones evoke quiet afternoons, while the balanced proportions and carefully crafted compartments speak to a tradition of thoughtful workmanship
