19th Century Collectible Maple or Walnut Hand-Carved Table with Scalloped Rim

About the Item

The absolute attraction of this table is the intricate carving on the top, which includes a centerpiece portrait of a gentleman wearing a period hat, and his image is surrounded by hand-carved flowers. It is collectible and functional. It is described by appraisers as an Aesthetic Movement Inlaid Maple or Walnut Serpentine-Top Stand in the Orientalist taste, American or English, from the late 19th Century. The top's shape is octagonal with serpentine sides that are heavily inlaid centering a sultan's portrait surrounded by relief-carved foliate decoration, raised on a single pedestal on a triangular base. The wood patina is gorgeous. The appraisers say this is the portrait of a sultan, but it seems to also resemble the image, hat and clothing of a Spanish Conquistador. The table rests on a trangular base that is made of modern plywood and seems to add stability to the piece. The carving and portrait are protected by a glass top. The table is 23 inches tall, and the top is 19 by 14 inches.
