The Style: This is a classic Late Victorian style design, typically dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century. It is heavily influenced by the Rococo Revival movement, which is characterized by elaborate scrollwork, foliate motifs, and figural representations.The Figural Element: The cast iron prominently displays a sculpted female figure head or Bacchus/Cherub-style face flanked by intricate scrolling acanthus leaves.The Base: Visible underneath is the characteristic circular pierced-iron lower stretcher shelf. This design feature connects the legs to provide stability. It usually curves down into three decorative cabriole legs.The Finish: The table base has been finished with a thick off-white or cream-colored paint that has developed severe alligatoring and crazing over time. Heavy oxidation and rust are breaking through the paint layer, which is common for tables used outdoors or in damp garden/pub environments See less
