19th century

Sold by Culvertons

Description

This fine Victorian pedestal was recently discovered amongst a wonderful collection of decorative items. It was certainly not the most valuable, those pieces were consigned to auction on behalf of our client, but its understated quality really appealed. It is a lovely example of 19th Century cabinet making, a period when materials of excellent quality were still in abundance. The original top surface is very slightly dished in the centre to receive and steady a particular item, however we are unsure what that may have been. A myriad of objects can be displayed upon it, however, it would also make a very distinctive occassional or lamp table with the addition of a drop-in marble ? top (33.3 cm diam). If you are interested in finding out the cost of having this done please get in contact as we would be happy to undertake this extra work. This pedestal has been sensitively restored, and as you can see from the images its surface colour, now revived, is particualry appealing. Measurements - 42 cm max diameter of the top.
