Jas Shoolbred Attributed – Aesthetic Movement Octagonal Centre Table
£2,500
This Aesthetic Movement octagonal centre table attributed to Jas Shoolbred dates to around 1880 and exemplifies the refined domestic furniture that defined the late Victorian aesthetic. The octagonal top rests above an under-tier shelf supported by finely turned stretchers and elegant reeded legs, creating a harmony between geometry and proportion.
The design reflects the Aesthetic Japonisme style, an English interpretation of Japanese form filtered through classical balance. Shoolbred’s London workshops produced furniture influenced by the designs of E. W. Godwin and Bruce Talbert, blending architectural precision with understated ornament.
