sewing table

Fabric work station

A sewing table is a small table designed for needlework, typically featuring a hinged top that opens to reveal compartments for thread, needles, and other supplies.

Traditional sewing tables often have a fabric bag or basket underneath for storing work in progress.

The form was especially popular in the 18th and 19th centuries as parlor furniture.
