Description:
This is an unusual small antique French 19th Century rectangular walnut occasional table, incorporating an inset glass panel, displaying an Ordnance Survey map of Bath & Frome in Somerset, circa 1890, in excellent condition. The map is a re-print of a 1st edition David & Charles Ordnance Survey of Bath, Wells & Frome in Somerset, South West of England, circa 1880 because it shows railway lines on the map. The map can be removed from the table and replaced with something else, by un-screwing the brass screws on the reeded moulding around the table edge. The walnut occasional table is decorated with a scalloped frieze and sits on four splayed continental shaped & turned legs (bobbin turned and block), united my matching stretchers, terminating on turned feet.
Ideal for use in the living or dining room, as a small occasional / side table, or even a small coffee table. This small French table has been cleaned and French polished in our workshop, therefore the colour and patination are of an excellent standard.
This French walnut occasional table displays a beautiful mellow patina, which has been generated by the years of cleaning and care it has received. This truly is a very beautiful item with quality construction.
This French walnut occasional table would certainly grace any home, so don’t miss out on your chance to own such a lovely item. This is an extremely useful piece of furniture and a great asset to have in any room, as it consumes so little space.
Provenance:
We believe this small table originates from France or the Low Countries. The style of this table reflects a provincial design common in France and the low countries in Europe, with the use of walnut, which was commonly available on the continent, with the scalloped frieze and “bobbin” turned leg design.
