AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exceptional and sophisticated octagonal coffee table in Anglo-Indian style, dating from the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century. This is a highly collectible piece of colonial historical furniture that perfectly fuses the sobriety of Western utilitarian design with the ornamental exuberance of Indian artisanal tradition.
The Top: Octagonal in shape, fully hand-decorated with a meticulous profusion of vegetal motifs, foliage, and interlaced scrolling vines in relief. At the center, there is a refined circular ornamental medallion with inlaid fine marquetry (polished bone), drawing delicate floral branches.
The lower structure follows the octagonal shape and is composed of richly pierced and carved panels that reproduce flowing floral patterns.
Following the classic model of traveling tea tables created for British officers in India, the structure is detachable and foldable, allowing the top to fit and the base to close flat for easy transport.
