Description from the seller

It is a hexagonal plant-support table, in burnt bamboo and rattan, in the English Colonial or Aesthetic Movement style, dating from the mid-20th century. It is also known by the name "tortoiseshell" (tortoise shell) due to its dark mottled finish. The frame is made of natural bamboo canes with a burnt finish to achieve the tortoiseshell effect. The side sections feature intricate details in rattan or curved wicker. The piece has a hexagonal shape and has historically been used both as a plant stand and as a side or accent table. The style is consistent with colonial furnishing, ideal for displaying plants, pots, or small decorative objects, adding a vintage and exotic touch to the décor."
