An English, mahogany and marble inlaid occasional table with Aesthetic period taste, dating to the Victorian era, circa 1880.

Fascinating inlaid top over a wonderfully Gillows-esque base
Displays a desirable aged patina and in very good order
Select stocks with natural caramel hues to the top and ebonised to the frame
Ten inset jet black marble tiles adorned with eye-catching Mother of Pearl inlays

Set upon a tiered edge moulding, each of the raised tiles decorated with foliate inlays
Profusely gilded, the black frame beams with accents of golden hues
Unmarked as such, the fluted legs and turned elements redolent of a Gillows piece
Raised upon squat cabriole legs, enhanced with scrolled knees and terminating in squat bun feet

This is a charming and unusual antique specimen table, wonderfully decorated with inset tiles and striking black and gold tones. A treat for any room, and a distinguished example of Aesthetic period furniture. Solid joints and construction, delivered waxed, polished and ready for the home.
