Description:
This is a fine quality antique English Victorian papier mâché ebonised chinoiserie folding occasional table in the style of Jennens & Bettridge, circa 1870, in good original condition. Decorated with stunning hand-painted floral detail to the centre, with mother of pearl decoration, gilt heightened throughout, including the pedestal and feet. The table stands on a turned pedestal base, supported by dome shaped plinth, terminating on three small brass feet. The tray is constructed of papier mâché, literally meaning “paper – mashed up”; a material consisting of paper pulp, sometimes reinforced and pressed with textiles, bound with an adhesive, such as glue, starch, or wallpaper paste, decorated in the style of chinoiserie, which was fashionable at the time. This is not only a decorative item but is also a practical as a useful occasional table, with a hinged folding top, which can be stored away without consuming much space.

Condition Report:
This is a fine quality antique English Victorian papier mâché ebonised chinoiserie folding occasional table in the style of Jennens & Bettridge, circa 1860, in good original condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges, paint and gilt work, but nothing significant considering the age of the item, and years of use (please see photos). The folding top locking mechanism works to secure the table top in a horizontal position. The detail in the painted floral work and craftsmanship is second to none. This item is solid in joint and ready to use.
