A charming example of the Victorian fascination with exotic forms, this elegant side table is crafted in pitch pine and carved in the popular simulated bamboo style that flourished in Britain during the mid nineteenth century. The turned legs are carefully modelled to resemble natural bamboo canes, joined by delicate nodes that lend the piece a light, architectural rhythm.
The rectangular top, surmounted by a pale marble slab, rests above a frieze fitted with three drawers, their simple brass pulls complementing the warm honey tones of the pine. Raised on slender bamboo-form legs terminating in original castors, the table combines practicality with decorative appeal, allowing it to be easily moved within a room.
