Elaborate open fretwork upon a folding octagonal frame with superb light patina, deep chestnut hues, removable top, and panels/legs that fold for easy storage.
The eight fretwork panels are hand-carved with a leaf and berry motif, while the tabletop a foliate copperwork medallion within a chased vine pattern. Further budding leaf patterns decorate the fascia across each leg.
The original hinges and screws are in good order and the piece is structurally sound in all respects.
A beautiful platform for lamps, art objects, books, or a glass wine, while a rare and timeless gem in its own right that will quietly endure across the years.
