Description from the seller
Antique Japanese Anglo-Japanese Occasional Table for Liberty & Co. – Lotus / Lily Pad Design – circa 1900
Beautiful, completely original antique Japanese hand-carved wooden occasional table (two-tier occasional table), imported and sold by the iconic London department store Liberty & Co. around 1900–1910.
This table is a stunning example of the Anglo-Japanese style within the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau movements of the Edwardian era. Both the top and lower shelves are deeply and expertly hand-carved with an organic relief of lotus flowers and leaves (the sought-after Lily Pad design). The graceful, curved legs enhance its Art Nouveau character.
Unique feature:
The incised assembly number '700' is visible on the underside of the shelves. At the time, these tables were shipped from Japan to England as numbered 'flat-pack' components, where they were assembled in Liberty & Co.'s workshops. This number confirms the object's authenticity and early provenance.
Condition:
The table is in good, structurally sound antique condition, with a beautiful, authentic patina. Consistent with its age of over 120 years and the hand-crafted nature of the carving, there are light signs of use and minor imperfections. These include a small edge chip on the side of the top. All these details are part of the object's history and age, and are shown clearly and transparently in the accompanying close-up photos. These minor signs do not detract at all from the piece's decorative appeal or sturdiness.
