This large Anglo-Indian centre table originates from around 1900, constructed from dark brown teak with bone tusks. The dark wood oval top displays a deeply relief-carved floral border alongside a radiating central medallion, resting on four carved elephant head legs with protruding white tusks and trunk-form supports. Strengthening cross stretchers intersect with a small central turned tier flanked by stylised cobra snake heads. Minor age-related bumps and bruises are present. Practical proportions measuring 77 cm high, 137 cm wide, and 91.5 cm deep allow for placement as a striking statement piece in a spacious entrance hall, a grand drawing room, or a collector's study. The ornate maximalist design provides a decorative surface for displaying books, lamps, or decorative objects while anchoring interior layouts with traditional craftsmanship.

FAQs

Anglo-Indian furniture combines traditional European functional forms with intricate Indian hand-carving techniques, often utilizing native tropical hardwoods like teak or padauk and featuring zoomorphic or floral motifs.

These tables were typically crafted from solid dense hardwoods, such as padauk, teak, or rosewood, often incorporating natural bone or horn details for contrasting accents.

Authentic period examples display deep hand-carving with subtle artisan variations, traditional joinery techniques, and natural age patination across dense tropical timber.

An Anglo-Indian centre table serves as a strong focal point in an entry hall or living area, providing visual weight and historical texture alongside clean-lined neutral furnishings.

Dust the carved crevices regularly using a dry soft-bristled brush, and apply a neutral beeswax polish periodically to preserve the timber and protect the finish.
