Description from the seller
Resting Bench / Small Jacobean Side Table, Late 19th Century or Early 20th Century (Victorian / Revivalist Period).
Magnificent low rectangular bench (footstool-type or teapot table) in solid oak, entirely hand-carved. The top features rich central ornamentation in a floral rosette with a geometrical border carved in deep relief. The structure rests on four short turned legs (barley twist) connected by H-shaped stretchers also turned, giving great stability and robustness to the piece. Jacobean / Louis XIII-inspired style.
Good overall condition, presenting a natural dark patina that is uniform. Wear due to age and use is visible on the edges and feet, attesting to its age. The structure is solid, but the central beam has a marked fracture in the photos, which does not affect the piece’s structure or stability; there is also a flaw in one corner of the top as noted in the photos.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces.
ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time.
Thank you very much
