Merman Carved Oak Victorian Table
Most Fascinating Merman Carved Oak Victorian Table
Just wonderful! We have a large circular side table possibly from a tavern with wonderfully carved Merman legs with matching “scales” carved to the top. A rather exciting addition to any room, we’ve not seen one before.
We would assume that this one is a one off and very folky in nature. The four legs are well carved with scales and at the top of each leg is a Merman’s head. The circular top has a ring of scales also carved into it. The Merman was the mythical male counterpart of the Mermaid, part human and part fish. Sometimes they are described as hideous and other times as handsome - we just love it!
Workshop report – the table sits in an as found condition, it's only had a very light brush over. It sits steady with plenty of space for at least two folk to have lunch or supper at. The top is historically marked with a nice age tone to the oak. We do have a few pieces missing to the tops of the legs however old losses and an old repair but hey it’s not doing anyone any harm so best leave it. A small bit of old woodworm on the leg but we have treated it purely as a precaution. We feel this one looks better left, a little imperfect.
A truly gorgeous Late Victorian table.
Dimensions - Overall: Height 71.5cm x Diameter 74cm Billy Hunt has successfully focused on British furniture, lighting and accessories since 2015. Our base is a 3,000sq foot space on a wonderful country estate in Staffordshire which you are more than welcome to visit, please let us know in advance so no wasted trips are made.
