About the Item

A fine, fabulous and grand early 19th Century Continental centre table in beautiful antique condition. Crafted from golden Karelian birch in Russia, most likely around 1830, this breathtaking Biedermeier centre table is a statement piece par excellence. You could quite imagine it gracing a vestibule, reception hall or ballroom in the finest of stately homes or palaces of Tolstoy's Russia, and today it makes an exquisite and astounding addition to any contemporary home. Russian-made in the first half of the 19th Century when the Biedermeier style of furniture was sweeping through the European continent, this superb table is made from Finnish Karelian Birch burr wood, one of the most distinctive and rare woods in the world thanks to the unique soils of the small area of Karelia in Finland, (formerly a 19th Century Grand Duchy of Russia) which produces this beautifully grained birch wood. Reassuringly heavy and impressively sized, it features a large and deep layered circular tabletop with stunning tri-symmetrical grain, secured to the possibly unique and standout feature of six beautiful square columnar legs with ebonised detail bordering, which attach to the gorgeous rounded six-point-star base above ebonised feet, slightly raised for ease of movement. It's protected by and finished in a shimmering golden lacquer, which adds a mesmeric and almost dream-like sheen to this already extraordinary piece. Biedermeier furniture was the precursor and inspiration for the Art Deco furniture movement, and you can quite see why with this exquisite piece. With its striking and unapologetically impressive look, its large size, bold shapes of geometric curves and statuesque right angles, and its wonderfully contrasting shimmering gold and black colouring, this is a sumptuous example of superior antique European furniture, featuring mouth-watering bygone master craftsmanship. Very possibly unique, we've not seen one of the same design and this was very likely custom made for one of the finest houses in the Russian Empire. A rarity to find it in the UK, having been recently imported from Russia, this fabulous table will add gorgeous colouring, bygone finery, and stunning, stately aesthetic to any setting. CONDITION This is in wonderful antique condition. Structurally sound and sturdy, the base, legs and top are all joined together and have no wobbles, chips or breaks. There are some minor nicks and wear to the lacquer and some very minor fissures in the woodwork joins, as you'd expect with an antique piece of this age, but overall it’s in beautiful condition. It’s an exquisite example of bygone European finery that has aged superbly in the last two centuries and it should last several more if well looked after - please see the photos.
