Description
For sale are a highly decorative pair of Ottoman side tables (two sizes) from the late 19th or early 20th century circa 1890-1915. - These tables are of the dark ebonised wood veneer, marquetry (Sandal, Satin & Cedar wood) and mother of pearl inlay design with good patternation. - The colours are reminiscent of the colours used on many aesthetic movement pieces of furniture. - Liberty & Co retailed a range of 'exotic' Ottoman/Syrian/Indian small side table in a number of decorative patterns and of varying sizes. - The two side tables for sale are of different heights and table-top diameters. - The smaller diminutive table is in great condition as shown by the photos and the top has been restored. - The larger antique table is in good un-restored condition and as shown by the photos the table-top has a loss of marquetry and mother of pearl with some knocks to the table edge. Both tables side panels / legs are in good solid condition, it tends to be the main table top inlay surfaces that can suffer from wear. - **The little inlaid Ottoman tables were probably retailed by Liberty, from whom several versions were available in a number of sizes and styles by Liberty & Co from the earliest days of the store into the early 20th Century. **Similar pattern Ottoman tables are noted : Page 30; Bennett, D.
