A Green Man hall table is a piece of furniture, often Victorian Gothic, featuring the ancient "Green Man" motif—a face emerging from or surrounded by foliage—symbolising nature, rebirth, and life, a carving style popular in churches that saw a revival in 19th-century carpentry for decorative pieces like hall tables, consoles, and seats.

This beautiful ornate hall table, still retaining its elegance, of good proportions and a very solid piece, remains in original condition. Would look lovely in the hallway or the bedroom as a dressing table. See less
