This is a lovely example of
an Antique Victorian Bobbin Turned Gypsy Wooden/Oak Side Table (c. 1880-1910).
*In good antique condition
with a beautiful, aged patina. As expected with an item over 100 years old,
there are some signs of wear, including light scratches, small marks, and
slight fading consistent with genuine use and age. The structure is sound and
sturdy. Please ensure to closely inspect each of the Gallery pictures, (as well
as viewing the mini video clip), as part of the description.*
A charming and versatile
late Victorian or Edwardian occasional table in the popular 'gypsy' style. This
characterful piece features distinctive bobbin-turned legs and a unique
octagonal top and under tier shelf.
Dimensions:
Height: 58 cm (22.8 inches)
Width (across the tabletop):
30.5 cm (12 inches)
Thickness of tabletop: 2.5 cm (0.984 inches)
Width (across the lower
tier/shelf): 19.2 cm (7.55 inches).
This charming table offers
more than just function; it's a piece of genuine British antique history
(or European equivalent), full of nostalgia and character.
The excellent craftsmanship is evident in the intricate
bobbin-turned legs and the detailed octagonal top, showcasing traditional
carpentry techniques that have endured for over a century. Despite its age, its
versatile nature means it fits perfectly into modern-day use as
a side table, plant stand, or lamp stand. It would complement a variety of home
décor styles, from a traditional farmhouse or cottage aesthetic to an eclectic
or bohemian interior that values authentic, warm, and characterful furniture.
