A stunning and highly distinctive antique side table, dating from the late Victorian or Edwardian period (c. 1890 – 1920), embodying the hand-crafted ethos of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
This piece is a true conversation starter, showcasing exceptional attention to detail and traditional craftsmanship.
Key Features:
- Exceptional Chip Carving: Both the square top and the circular lower tier are covered in intricate, deep relief chip carving (Kerbschnitt). The geometric, radial, and starburst patterns are precisely executed, highlighting the skill of the artisan.
- Distinctive Textured Legs: The table stands on four square legs featuring a unique hammered texture. This unusual finish beautifully mimics the look of hand-wrought iron or metal, a popular aesthetic choice during the Arts & Crafts period, emphasizing the handmade nature of the wood furniture.
- Dark Patina: Finished in a rich, dark ebonized patina that accentuates the carving and texture.
- Versatile Form: Ideal as an accent piece, a small lamp stand, a plant stand, or a unique bedside table.
Condition: Excellent antique condition. Structurally sound and stable. It has been sympathetically restored to a highly desirable finish, with minor wear consistent only with genuine antique age.
