A Rare Walnut Flower or "Crocus" Table

19th century
Description

An unusual mid-19th century walnut FLOWER or "CROCUS" TABLE**, in fine original condition.

Within the solid carved walnut wavy-edged rope twist gallery is a rising panel, accessed by a brass push-button underneath, which when removed, reveals a shallow tray for planting crocus bulbs or similar.

Possibly by Holland & Sons, it is supported on an octagonal section tapering column with a charming carved wreath of laurel leaves and a petal stem leading to the quadripartite base with 'turret' feet. Width: 20ins; Depth 15.5ins; Height: 31ins (51 x 39.5 x 78.75cms)

** Originally intended to plant crocus or similar small bulbs, the idea was to plant the bulbs in the shallow tray below, leaving them dormant beneath the panel. This was removed some days before a ball or important party, so that they were in full bloom in time for the important occasion. Perfect to use today as a wine or side table ~ with a charming difference!

Declaration

Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this piece to the 1800s.
