Topsegment - Side table - Mahogany - Artisanal masterpiece
Artisan masterpiece – Solid mahogany side table from the top segment of the furniture industry.
This is not a standard side table, but an exceptionally beautifully crafted piece of furniture from the higher segment of traditional cabinetry. This table combines aesthetics, durability, and pure craftsmanship in an object that effortlessly withstands the test of time.
ORIGIN & PERIOD
Probably manufactured in Western Europe (possibly France or England), around 1900–1930. The style and finish align with the late Victorian period, with influences from the classical-inspired Neo-Style era. Furniture from this period was still largely handcrafted by specialized cabinetmakers.
Unmistakably top segment: wooden joints as proof of quality
Where average furniture uses nails, screws, or modern plugs, this little table shows the signature of true craftsmanship.
Usually, an internal dovetail joint is visible: a constructive and aesthetic technique that was only used by experienced furniture makers.
The underside of the leaf shows a crisscross reinforcement structure, perfectly embedded in the solid wood.
The twisted central column seamlessly transitions without visible connection into the three elegant legs, which are traditionally inset into a triangular mortise connection.
Such techniques are time-consuming and require absolute precision. They are exclusively applied to furniture intended for long-term and stylish use – which this piece undoubtedly is.
Massive mahogany wood – stylish and durable
The table is made of selected solid mahogany, recognizable by:
the warm, reddish-brown glow;
the fine, closed pore structure;
and the uniform, silky grain pattern.
Mahogany is a sustainable tropical hardwood used in the higher-end furniture industry for exclusive tables, desks, and cabinets.
