Also Antique Furniture has dated these Marquetry Inlaid Corner Tables to the 18th Century.
Each table retains its pierced brass gallery above a matching pierced frieze and stands on three elegant tapering legs. Unlike many examples, the decoration continues around all exposed sides, allowing them to be displayed either against a wall or free-standing within a room.
The warm honey-coloured timber and intricate marquetry combine to create a particularly decorative pair, equally suited to use as occasional tables, lamp tables or hall furniture.
DIMENSIONS
Height: 76.5cm
Width: 54cm
Depth: 38cm
CONDITION
These tables display the honest wear expected from furniture approaching 250 years old. There are age-related marks, knocks and surface scratches together with some minor losses to the marquetry. The pierced brass galleries have small breaks, minor losses and areas where they have lifted slightly from the timber supports.
One of the square floral paterae to the top has been replaced with a plain timber section, and part of one carved sunflower ornament is missing. Despite these historic imperfections, both tables remain structurally sound with attractive colour and patina.
As with all antique and vintage furniture, this piece has been used and enjoyed over many years and should be expected to show signs of age and use. We aim to describe any significant faults, repairs or alterations as accurately and honestly as possible. The photographs form an important part of the description and should be viewed alongside the written condition report. If you would like further information or additional photographs, we are always happy to help before purchase. If there are any critical dimensions then please check these with us before purchase.
