Side table - Egyptian Revival – Richly decorated, carved and Mashrabiya wooden base – ca. mid 20th century - Brass

Beautiful and highly detailed Oriental side table (tea table / coffee table) in the distinctive Egyptian Revival style, made in the mid-20th century.
The absolute centerpiece of this piece of furniture is the large, round tabletop made of solid copper/brass. The entire surface of the tray is hand-hammered and finely engraved with authentic ancient Egyptian scenes. Pharaohs, hieroglyphs, chariots, and iconic symbols in relief adorn the center of the tabletop, beautifully framed by a raised, geometrically chased rim.

The base:
The sturdy wooden base is a work of art in its own right, crafted in the traditional African Mashrabiya style (finely turned woodwork or spindles). The legs and crossbars feature intricate, decorative wood carving. A very special feature of this particular model is the monumental, centrally turned wooden element in the middle of the crossed frame, which gives the table extra stability and a unique, luxurious appearance.

Ideal for:
• Use as an atmospheric Oriental tea table or unique side table
• A statement piece in a vintage, boho, eclectic, or Hollywood Regency interior
• Collectors of Egyptian Revival art and antiques
