A superb and unusually decorative late Victorian carved oak trifold occasional table, dating from approximately 1880–1900.
This impressive piece features a distinctive three-sided folding top, beautifully executed with deep hand-carved foliate and scrolling decoration, centred by an attractive circular floral rosette. The richly carved top is complemented by an elaborately decorated apron and a matching lower triangular shelf, supported on three elegant tapering legs.
The design reflects the Victorian Gothic Revival and Jacobean Revival taste for richly carved oak furniture, with its bold ornamental carving and architectural three-sided form making it particularly eye-catching.
The trifold construction is an especially appealing feature, allowing the table to be folded into a more compact form when required.
A wonderful decorative and functional piece of Victorian furniture, equally suited to a traditional country house, period interior or eclectic contemporary setting.
Period: Late Victorian, circa 1880–1900
Material: Oak
Style: Victorian / Gothic Revival / Jacobean Revival
Type: Trifold occasional table
Condition: Good antique condition with the expected signs of age and use. The carving retains excellent definition and attractive natural colour and patina.
Price: £795
