AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very beautiful antique side table / tea table. The table is made in the Chippendale style, during the Chippendale Revival period. These are the years ’20 or ’30 of the last century.
The table is 61 cm high and the top surface has a diameter of 54 cm. The lower shelf is at a height of 19 cm and has a diameter of 38 cm. The weight is about 7 kg.
The table features very nice and distinctive claw-and-ball feet; claws resting on a flattened ball (see photos). This type of foot is known as claw-and-ball feet. Around 1750 the famous English designer Thomas Chippendale incorporated the claw-and-ball foot into his designs. He combined the foot with the elegantly wavy S-shape (cabriole leg) that had come from France. Thanks to his influential pattern book, this type of foot became the status symbol for the wealthy middle class in both Europe and the early United States. He adopted the dragon-leg from Chinese furniture, which often had dragon legs. Because the dragon carried a negative association in Europe (think of Saint George and the Dragon), the dragon leg was replaced by an eagle leg or a lion’s paw.
This table is thus a mix of Chinese mythology, European Royal symbolism, and 18th-century English design, executed in oak, made in the Chippendale Revival period at the start of the 20th century. The table was probably made in the Netherlands or Belgium. In the Netherlands this was mainly done in Oirschot and Culemborg, in Belgium in Mechelen.
The table is still in exceptionally good condition. The top shows some signs of use, such as some moisture- and/or heat rings, and narrow cracks, making it appear as though the top is veneered. It is very likely not the case; the top is probably solid throughout. The table remains 100% stable. There is no movement in the joints (which is often the case with tables from this period). It may have undergone restoration at some point, but if so, it was done very neatly. The table still has all original fastenings (see photos). It is therefore 100% original.
In any interior, this table is a very beautiful piece of furniture, and with those feet (see photos) certainly a conversation piece!
The table will be carefully packaged and insured for shipping.
Seller's Story
I sell antique and vintage products. The items I sell are very diverse in nature; from lamps to side tables, from phones to wooden sculptures, from vintage kitchen equipment to Art Deco and Art Nouveau coat racks, and everything in between. The things I buy are usually objects that I personally like and that are of high quality. It sometimes takes effort to part with them!
My expertise lies primarily in products from the 20th century.
I ship in used boxes combined with paper filler material. The boxes are sturdy. Usually made of double-wall cardboard. I ship, unless otherwise agreed, always within two days of purchase. I attach great importance to friendly, decent and reliable contact with my buyers.
