This late 19th-century Middle Eastern or Levantine side table combines a removable circular brass tray top with a folding wooden collapsible base. The piece exhibits a warm brown timber finish and a polished gold-coloured brass top with a scalloped edge and engraved Arabic script decoration. The turned wood spindle legs and intersecting stretchers incorporate intricate mashrabiya lattice work panels with small dark beads and detailed turnings along the vertical supports and feet. Measuring 67 cm in diameter and 52 cm in height, the table stands on a compact footprint suitable for placement at the end of a sofa or as an occasional accent piece in a living room, bedroom, or hallway interior.

FAQs

A Levantine brass tray table is a traditional form of portable furniture originating from the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions, consisting of a hand-engraved circular brass platter positioned atop a collapsible, turned-wood base.

These tables are primarily constructed using sheet brass, which is hand-hammered and engraved, alongside dense regional hardwoods such as walnut or teak for the turned spindle legs and lattice framing.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples display hand-chased calligraphic or geometric patterns on the tray surface, visible hammer marks on the underside, natural oxidisation in the recessed metalwork, and hand-turned joinery on the folding wooden frame.

A brass tray table functions effectively as an occasional side table beside contemporary seating, bringing texture, warm metallic tones, and historic craftsmanship into modern minimalist or eclectic interiors.

Dust the wooden frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply clear beeswax sparingly. Clean the brass top with a dry or slightly damp cloth, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that can strip the natural aged patina from the engraved grooves.
