Octagonal Indian Folding Occasional Chai Table

Intriguing octagonal occasional tea or chai table in lacquered wood, this early 20th century Anglo Indian piece has a removable top which fits onto a folding, hinged base. The top is painted in red and black, with a central figurative scene of a couple on a horse and surrounding motifs depicting animals and mythical beasts. The base has some green included in the slightly more vibrant colour scheme and a mythical beast on each leg. This is a great decorative piece for any home and can easily be folded away, making it convenient for a conservatory or summerhouse. Dating to circa 1900, this is made of lacquered wood and originates from India.
