This nineteenth-century Anglo-Indian side table from Hoshiapur takes an octagonal form and comes in a dark brown tone with extensive boxwood marquetry inlay. The top displays a central floral starburst motif surrounded by detailed scrolling foliate patterns and geometric borders. Below, the eight-sided base incorporates panelled inserts, shaped Moorish arches, and inlaid lower stretchers. Visible details include an original aged timber patina and intricate floral ornamentation across both the top and the supporting framework. The piece measures 41 cm high by 41 cm wide and 41 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this low side table fits comfortably at the end of a sofa or beside an armchair in a traditional living room, library or study. The compact proportions provide a practical surface for a small reading lamp, a drink or decorative objects while adding a distinct decorative focal point to the interior scheme.

FAQs

Emerging in the late 19th century in the Punjab region, Hoshiarpur furniture is characterised by intricate marquetry and bone or wood inlay work crafted on native hardwoods like teak or rosewood for Western markets.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense hardwoods such as rosewood, teak, or shisham, featuring geometric or floral inlays made from bone, ivory, brass, or contrasting light woods.

Authentic pieces exhibit precise hand-cut inlay work embedded flush into dark timber, arched apron details, octagonal or hexagonal forms, and often hinged or collapsible base structures.

Place the table alongside minimalist seating to highlight its intricate patterned surface, or use it as an accent piece in a library or study setting to add texture and historical interest.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid direct sunlight and extreme humidity changes to prevent inlay lift, and apply a natural beeswax polish sparingly to preserve the wood finish.
