This nineteenth-century Moorish Revival side table by Liberty’s from their Eastern Bazaar range takes the form of an octagonal walnut and fruitwood occasional table with warm brown tones and contrasting dark timber inlay. The piece is decorated with intricate geometric marquetry, mother-of-pearl stars, Moorish arches, and Arabic calligraphy set within a central medallion on the top surface. It stands on upright legs with arched cutouts and has a raised edge moulding around the octagonal top. The table measures 53 cm high, 41 cm wide, and 41 cm deep. In a modern interior, this piece functions well as an end-of-a-sofa table or a small accent stand in a living room, hallway, or study, providing a compact surface for lamps, books, or decorative objects while adding decorative interest through its detailed inlay work.

FAQs

Popularised in late nineteenth-century Europe by retailers such as Liberty & Co, Eastern Bazaar furniture encompasses Orientalist and Moorish Revival occasional pieces decorated with intricate geometric marquetry and mother-of-pearl inlays.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwood structures, such as walnut or fruitwood, meticulously inlaid with contrasting wood tesserae, bone, and iridescent mother-of-pearl to compose complex geometric patterns.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut marquetry with subtle variations, traditional joinery techniques, natural age-related patination across the timber surfaces, and hand-chiselled shell detailing.

Position the table as an accent piece beside a sofa, within a reading nook, or as a decorative plant stand to introduce rich tactile contrast and historical detail into contemporary spaces.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heating vents to prevent timber shrinkage, dusting gently with a dry, soft lint-free cloth while avoiding harsh liquid cleansers.
