Early 20th Century Highly Decorative Oriental Ebonised & Brass Octagonal Occasional Table

1900 - 1920
Description

A highly decorative early 20th century (circa 1910) Oriental ebonised & brass octagonal occasional table, possibly retailed by Liberty & Co. of London.

The table consists of an ebonised octagonal top with finely engraved brass brackets to each corner, a recessed circular panel with applied circular brass Chinese symbol to the centre, this a symbol of longevity, the recessed panel having a removable glass top.

The top is supported on an octagonal base with finely engraved corner brackets to both the top and bottom of all corners, four sides with applied brass lotus flower mount, the lotus flower a symbol of purity and rebirth and four sides with brass bat handles, the bat a symbol of luck and good fortune, one of the sides having a secret opening door.

The Oriental and exotic styles of furniture were very popular in Europe during the latter part of the 19th and early 20th centuries with many areas in the Middle East, India, China and Japan producing similar items of superb quality, similar tables were sold by retailers such as Liberty of London during this time.

This table is in very good condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

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.

FAQs

This style typically features dark ebonised or lacquered timber contrasting with brass mounts, corner straps, and central character medallions inspired by traditional Chinese and East Asian motifs popularised during the export trade period.

Craftsmen utilised dense hardwoods treated with iron-rich stains or dark lacquers to achieve an ebonised finish, secured with hand-cut or stamped brass hardware including bat-shaped handles and decorative corner brackets.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-fitted joinery, natural age-related oxidisation on the brass mounts, and subtle irregularities in the ebonised surface finish rather than uniform modern synthetic coatings.

Position the piece as a side table beside upholstered armchairs or in an entryway to provide visual contrast against lighter neutral walls and modern textiles.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemicals; brass elements should be cleaned gently without removing the natural oxidisation that protects the patina.
