The curved tabletop and the turned central column with a tripod base create a calmly proportioned, formally cohesive appearance.

Historical Context: Side tables/parlor tables of this type were used in the 19th century as a flexible addition to permanent furnishings, for example in salons, living rooms, or ladies' rooms. They served for placing dishes, reading material, or decorative objects and were easily moved due to their compact dimensions. The central column construction with a tripod base was typical of this period, as it offered stability with minimal material usage.

Features: - Curved tabletop with a profiled edge - Turned central column with a trefoil base. Design: The design is based on classical design principles of the early to mid-19th century, with balanced proportions and a clearly structured silhouette. Decorative elements remain understated and are primarily defined by the turning and lines. Originally used as a side or serving table, this piece is equally suitable today as a side table, small dining table, or accent piece in living rooms and bedrooms. Dimensions: Height 73 cm × Length 115 cm × Width 74 cm.

Material and condition: Solid walnut. Well-preserved for its age with few signs of wear. The piece has been inspected, cleaned. See less
