This 19th-century Anglo-Indian colonial side table is constructed from dark brown teak and hardwood. The piece takes an octagonal form with an intricate central top surrounded by geometric borders, complemented by dense foliate carving, pierced fretwork, and an arched apron. The construction incorporates turned legs and detailed moulding around the frieze. Measuring 56 cm high by 56 cm wide and 56 cm deep, it provides a compact surface area. In a modern interior, this side table serves functionally at the end of a sofa or as a lamp table within a gentleman's library. The substantial woodwork and elaborate ornamentation make it a practical surface for resting reading materials or illumination while introducing a distinct period accent to a seating arrangement.

FAQs

Anglo-Indian furniture from this era reflects a fusion of British utility forms and traditional Indian craftsmanship, typically characterised by dense regional hardwoods and dense, intricate surface carving.

These tables were predominantly constructed from solid native hardwoods such as teak, rosewood, or padauk, incorporating deep hand carving, pierced openwork fretwork, and joinery designed for easy assembly or folding.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-tool marks, non-uniform carving details, natural oxidation on unvarnished undersides, and traditional joinery rather than modern uniform machine cuts or modern adhesives.

A carved side table adds textural depth to contemporary spaces when placed beside a modern armchair, used as a plant stand, or integrated into an eclectic room scheme alongside simpler geometric forms.

Dust regularly using a soft dry brush to clean within carved recesses, and apply a high-grade beeswax polish periodically while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and moisture.
