About the Item

A pair of side tables with glass plates and Chinese elephant bases made of original painted wood and patina from the circa 1880s is a truly unique and captivating find. The combination of the glass plates and the Chinese elephant bases creates an intriguing and exotic look, blending elements of Asian-inspired design with functional furniture. The tables likely showcase exquisite craftsmanship, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the 19th century. The use of original painted wood and the presence of patina indicate the age and history of the tables, adding to their antique charm.

Given their age, the fact that the tables are in great antique condition is remarkable. Well-preserved antique furniture is a treasure, as it preserves the craftsmanship and design aesthetics of a bygone era. The presence of a pair of these side tables allows for versatility in styling and use, as they can be placed together for a symmetrical arrangement or separately as accent pieces in different parts of a room. Overall, the pair of side tables with glass plates and Chinese elephant bases from the circa 1880s are not only functional pieces but also works of art that tell a story of the past. Their distinct design and antique appeal make them a remarkable addition to any interior space, serving as conversation starters and treasured antiques for generations to come.
