What is an antique moorish table?

An antique moorish table is a decorative item of furniture produced in the nineteenth or early twentieth century, drawing on Islamic and Middle Eastern design traditions. These pieces are characterised by geometric woodwork and elaborate surface inlay. They encompass various forms, from folding occasional tables originating in India and Syria to British interpretations created during the Aesthetic Movement.

Where were these tables made?

These tables were manufactured across a broad geographic network that included workshops in Damascus, Cairo, Morocco, and northern India. European firms and retailers also produced matching designs locally. Items created in the East were imported to satisfy Victorian desires for exotic interior decoration, while domestic makers adapted the style in London.

How do I style a moorish table at home?

A moorish table functions effectively as a lamp table, a bedside stand, or an occasional piece placed beside a simple sofa. Its reflective inlay and dark wood provide strong textural contrast against plain modern walls. Due to their folding mechanisms, many examples offer versatility for smaller spaces where furniture needs to be moved or stored easily.
