Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1930s:
Pierced and chiselled brass panels with copper inlay: traditional Cairo metalwork.
Calligraphic bands and scrolling arabesques: Mamluk revival decorative style.
Domed copper rivets securing the panel edges: standard period metal assembly.
Turned brass baluster legs on small castors: typical occasional furniture fittings.
Natural oxidisation and verdigris in the recesses: decades of undisturbed surface patina.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This Mamluk Revival occasional table, made from brass inlaid with copper and white metal, dates from 1930. The hexagonal body displays intricate pierced lattice openwork, Arabic calligraphy, copper rivets, and a small arched door profile with hinged hardware, resting on turned bun feet with small castors. The warm brass surface shows natural patination and surface wear across all six sides. It stands 86 cm high, 46 cm wide, and 39.5 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this piece suits placement at the end of a sofa in a gentleman's library or reception room, serving as an occasional table or a unique display stand. The enclosed storage behind the double cabinet doors provides a practical compartment for small items, whilst the detailed openwork panels project distinct patterns of light in a room.

FAQs

A kursi is a Middle Eastern hexagonal or octagonal table or cabinet traditionally crafted in Cairo during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often featuring Mamluk Revival design elements and calligraphic inscriptions.

These pieces are constructed from sheet brass adorned with hand-punched openwork lattice, copper rivets, and detailed silver or white-metal wire inlays depicting Arabic script and geometric motifs.

Authentic pieces feature dense Thuluth calligraphy, hand-hammered copper and silver inlay flush with the surface, hand-pierced fretwork, and hand-fitted brass framework exhibiting natural historical patina.

This hexagonal accent piece functions effectively as an end table, bedside nightstand, or decorative accent cabinet alongside contemporary upholstered furniture to add visual texture and architectural interest.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid chemical metal cleaners, abrasive polishes, or moisture, which can loosen delicate metal inlays and degrade the historic surface patina.
