Late 19th Century Painted Centre Table, c.1880

A highly decorative late 19th century painted centre table, circa 1880, of particularly attractive form and proportions.

The circular top retains a wonderfully time-worn ebonised painted finish, with gentle rubbing and surface character acquired through age and use. This contrasts beautifully with the lightly distressed off-white painted base, giving the table a relaxed, decorative appearance.

The base is especially appealing, raised on four finely turned and fluted legs, united by an architectural cross-stretcher arrangement. At its centre is a particularly attractive turned and fluted finial, creating a strong decorative focal point beneath the table. Subtle carved detailing to the frieze and the naturally aged painted surface further enhance its character.

With its generous circular proportions, this is an excellent centre, hall or occasional table, equally at home in a traditional country-house interior or as a characterful contrast within a more contemporary setting.

The combination of the dark ebonised top, pale painted base and beautifully detailed understructure gives the piece considerable presence while retaining an elegant, light appearance.
