Chippendale Revival Carved Mahogany Leather-top Wine or Lamp Table c.1900

A well-proportioned 'Chippendale revival' wine or occasional table in mahogany, dating to the late Victorian / early Edwardian period, circa 1900. The circular top is fitted with an inset green leather surface, attractively aged and tooled, and is framed by a finely carved and pierced foliate gallery with shell and scroll motifs, giving the piece strong decorative presence without appearing heavy. The top is supported on a turned baluster stem with gadrooned knop, rising from a carved quadriform base with four outward-swept cabriole legs. Each leg is enriched with acanthus carving and terminates in a carved pad foot. The carving throughout is crisp and well judged, reflecting good quality workshop production of the period, and the table stands with pleasing balance and stability. An elegant and versatile piece, suitable for use as a wine table, lamp table or occasional table, equally at home in a traditional or eclectic interior.
