Table what style

Hi all, first post here, wonderful forum,

My mother owns this small table, about 70 cm (28 inch?). I would like to buy something similar, but I have never come across anything like it.

I would very much like to know what style/period it is from. And maybe where I could find it.

 

It's not really any pure style, more a hodge podge of Chinese Chippendale, Aesthetic, and late Victorian, with maybe a bit of Indian Raj.

Call it Heinz.

 

Welcome, Lars -- I don't know enough about furniture to address your question. I do enjoy af's posts.

 

make your mom an offer !!!

( but 1st.....when she's not looking.....clean off the table , turn it upside down...and see if there's any markings that could help you find a similar one !!

 

It's a fun hodgepodge, and if I had to guess, I'd put it at the Edwardian era.

 

So are you in England?
Has this been in your family for awhile?
I'd ask your mother to put your name on it if you want it.

Check this out
Lot 29 Don't know what year the auction was held.

An Edwardian octagonal carved mahogany Chippendale style occasional table, raised on column supports 32" £120-150

 

Wow ..... Very similar. The profiled edges of the two tops are different. The auction is dated Wed. Nov. 16th but it doesn't give a year ...... I have to go back to 2011 to find Nov. 16th on a Wednesday.

 

nICELY DONE cLUTTER !!!!!

 

Thank you, Clutter!! (I just LOVE getting it right!!)

 

Awesome clutter and silver

 

Wow, thanks for all your tips. Clutteredcloset, you seem like a real Sherlock Holmes to have found the twin sister table in a jiffy. I live in Holland and my mother bought this ten years ago. Actually it was me who found the table in an antique shop. Nice to know what direction I should look. My own guess was that it would have to be English, from around 1900, inspired by Indian or Arabian furniture. Seems I wasn't too far off. I am my mothers only heir, but she is more dear to me than the table, so I hope I'll have to wait for a few more years

 

Hi Pat,
Nice post on the table.
