Description

This is a stunning circa 1900 Indian folding hardwood table with an octagonal top inlaid with mother of pearl and bone, with a label to underside stating 'Mysore City Arts & Crafts'. The design of a scrolling ribbon with a symmetrical arrangement of flowers and butterflies at each of the corners is clearly inspired by the European Arts and Crafts Movement.

The unadorned base has arched feet in the Moorish style which neatly folds up allowing the table to be stored when not in use. The hardwood grain has similarities to rosewood but with less figuring and identified with fair confidence as Padauk.

Its relatively low height makes this an ideal drinks table or small coffee table. As the base slots into the top it forms a very stable table which can be moved easily.
