Description from the seller
Anglo-Indian side table with bone marquetry
Hoshiarpur, Punjab · c. 1900–1930
Very good condition.
Postal shipping.
Origin: India; antique dealer.
Dimensions: 42 cm high, 41 cm wide
A traditional sadeli piece made of noble Indian rosewood (sissoo), with a circular top decorated by bone inlay against a dark background. The composition radiates from a central rosette toward an eight-pointed star, framed by a delicate arabesque of vegetal design, a hands-on inlay work that requires thousands of pieces fitted one by one.
The peripheral frieze, pierced in a festoon pattern, alternates bone lozenges and almond shapes. The structure rests on three legs carved as elephant heads, with ears spread, tusks applied, and the trunk swept to the floor, decorated with inlaid floral motifs. The legs are detachable, in keeping with the original construction intended for transport.
It retains a deep patina of use, with the warm tone that only time provides. Slight, occasional inlay flaws, consistent with its age and without intrusive restorations.
A cabinet piece: tea table, parlor side table, or a sculptural support for a single item.
