A matched pair of late 19th century Arts and Crafts style circular side tables attributed to Liberty and Company, circa 1900, function as practical additions to a gentleman's library or beside a sofa. Each piece comprises a circular copper top paired with a warm brown oak frame. The design includes four tapered legs with rounded pad feet, joined by an intersecting X-form stretcher below. Visible details include the rich natural grain of the timber, the soft patina on the metal surfaces, and the sturdy construction typical of the period. The tables measure 71 cm high, 56 cm wide, and 56 cm deep. In a modern interior, these tables suit placement at either end of a sofa or alongside a reading chair to hold lamps, books, or decorative objects. The compact proportions allow them to fit comfortably into both traditional and contemporary sitting rooms without overwhelming the space. The combination of metal and wood introduces textural contrast to a room scheme while providing functional surface space.

FAQs

The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in the late nineteenth century as a reaction against industrial mass production, emphasizing simple form, visible joinery, and natural materials such as oak, copper, and pewter.

Tables from this period typically featured solid native hardwoods like oak or walnut, often paired with hand-hammered metal surfaces such as copper or brass tops held together with mortise and tenon joinery.

Authentic pieces display structural integrity with pegged joints, hand-finished woodwork, geometric or tapered legs, and natural patination on metal surfaces rather than uniform modern finishes.

Place them as flanking accent tables beside a sofa or bed to introduce warm metallic tones and rich timber texture into modern minimalist or transitional interiors.

Dust wood regularly and apply a beeswax polish occasionally along the grain, while preserving the natural oxidation on the copper top by avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners.
