19th century
For Sale by M Lees and Sons
Description

Matched ‘pair’ of late C19th Liberty & Co. Moorish style octagonal occasional tables .

Complementary pair of varying design with multiple complex inlaid designs of walnut , fruitwood , nacre-shell and abalone. The sides of arcaded form in the style of ‘Moorish’ or Levantine architecture with parquetry work and abalone panels.

The inset top of one table having a geometric inlaid tessellated design with multiple roundels of fruitwood and shell , the other table having an inlaid scripted shell Bismillah tughra , set within a star surround .

The form and design of these tables undoubtedly lead to the attribution of Liberty & Co ,London , who commissioned, stocked and sold these tables from their fashionable ‘Eastern Bazaar’ range and basement department.

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.

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.

FAQs

Moorish Revival furniture originated in the mid-to-late 19th century, inspired by Islamic architecture, North African, and Middle Eastern design traditions. Popularised in Western Europe by retailers such as Liberty & Co., this style features intricate geometric marquetry, mother-of-pearl inlays, and horseshoe arch cutouts.

These tables were typically crafted from hardwoods, often ebonised or stained dark to contrast with decorative inlay materials. Surfaces feature mother-of-pearl shell, bone, and contrasting timber parquetry set in geometric patterns.

Authentic late Victorian pieces display natural hand-carved variations, micro-inlay made from bone or mother-of-pearl, and traditional joinery on the underside. Look for hand-cut marquetry tiles and minor natural irregularities in the inlaid geometric work.

Inlaid Moorish tables add visual texture to contemporary living spaces when placed as accent tables beside neutral sofas or within a reading nook. Their geometric patterns contrast effectively with minimalist architecture and smooth surfaces.

Keep inlaid wooden furniture away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber movement and preserve the adhesives securing the inlay. Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid harsh liquid chemical cleaners.
