Victorian Octagonal Occasional Table, Circa 1880

A charming and unusual late Victorian octagonal occasional table, dating to circa 1880, with a beautifully contrasting reddish-brown timber top and ebonised turned base.

The octagonal top has a moulded edge and retains a warm, rich colour, displaying attractive natural grain and character.

Raised on four finely turned, ring-decorated legs with an unusual ebonised finish, united by four similarly turned stretchers meeting at a distinctive central finial. The elaborate bobbin turning is particularly decorative and gives the table a striking architectural quality.

A delightful example of late Victorian craftsmanship, combining decorative detailing with elegant proportions. Its compact size makes it particularly suitable as a lamp table, occasional table or decorative piece beside an armchair.

In good antique condition, with minor signs of age and use consistent with its period.
