The generously proportioned round top provides a practical surface for a lamp, books, drinks or decorative objects while creating an attractive contrast with the geometric structure beneath. The square-form base incorporates three useful shelves, providing excellent additional space for books, magazines, collectibles or decorative objects. This unusual arrangement gives the table considerable functionality while creating a particularly interesting architectural silhouette. The contrast between the circular top and angular multi-tiered base is the defining feature of the design, setting the piece apart from more conventional occasional tables of the period. Particularly appealing is the oak itself, displaying pronounced natural grain and attractive figuring throughout. Rich, warm tones and an appealing aged patina give the timber considerable depth and character. Very well constructed with a reassuringly solid feel and presented in good antique condition, with appropriate signs of age and use consistent with its early 20th-century origin. Measuring only 54 cm across, this is a particularly versatile piece despite the generous storage offered by its three-tier base. Ideally suited as a side table, lamp table, occasional table or decorative display stand within a drawing room, library, study or country-house interior.
