EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of exquisite Ceylonese ebony, ivory, and specimen exotic wood-inlaid occasional tables. Crafted in the second quarter of the 19th century after a design by Thomas King, these tables are truly remarkable pieces of English School furniture. The hexagonal tops feature central ivory roundels that gracefully emit swirling segments of palm, wenge, macassar ebony, and sabicu woods. These intricate patterns are further enhanced by feather-banding that divides each segment. Adding to their functionality, the tables also boast frieze drawers for convenient storage. Supported by twin foliate C-scrolls and resting on a lotus-bordered plinth base with four scrolled feet, these tables exude elegance from every angle. Standing at an impressive height of 28 inches (71 cm), they offer a commanding presence in any space. The craftsmanship displayed in this pair is exceptional; it reflects the skill and artistry prevalent during the era. This print captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of these rare pieces. Displayed proudly in a private collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate the timeless allure and meticulous detailing found within each table's design. It serves as a testament to both artistic ingenuity and cultural heritage—a true treasure preserved through time.
