Side table - Barley Twist - Wood - Jacobean / Louis XIII

Antique oak/walnut occasional table with an octagonal top and barley twist legs – ca. 1920

A very charming and characterful antique wooden occasional table (possibly oak or dark-stained walnut) from the early 20th century. Originating from Western Europe, presumably England or France (Jacobean / Louis XIII style).

This atmospheric piece stands out immediately with its unique octagonal (hexagonal) top and the beautifully spirally twisted legs, also known as Barley twist. The four legs are at the bottom securely connected by a decorative twisted cross-brace.

The table has a warm, deep patina that beautifully reflects its age. Ideal to use as an authentic plant stand, a small stool, or as a decorative side table next to a chair or sofa.

Construction & Details: The underside of the table displays authentic, artisanal wood joints without the use of modern metal screws. The spirally twisted legs are firmly anchored into the wooden framework beneath the top. The wooden cross-brace is centrally adorned with a downward-facing twisted wooden knob (finial), which testifies to high-quality craftsmanship. The legs already have felt pads on the underside to protect your floor.
