Item Description
The good quality ebonised and parcel gilt octagonal topped centre table on the original brass castors with gilt flute decorated turned legs united by an x-frame cross stretcher with draught turned central column, survives from late nineteenth century England and the aesthetic movement.
The table is in good condition all round. All the components of the table are true and original with no later replacements. She remains sturdy and moves freely on her castors. The finish is still full of lustre.
The aesthetic movement can be seen as the bridge to the arts and crafts style. It often had formalised, restrained ornamentation, and was heavily influenced by Japanese decoration, knowledge of which flowed to the West in the nineteenth century through oriental imports. It rebelled against the lavish ornamentation and over-embellishment of the high Victorian period, and sought a purer, more precise level of expression. Gillows of Lancaster, Lamb of Manchester and Collinson and Lock, all very good makers, produced very similar tables to this one so it is quite possible it is from one of those stables as its quality is high.
A superior table that can slide into almost any interior.
