Liberty & Co., A Rare & Unusual Moorish Oval Eight-leg Side Table
POA
Liberty & Co.
A rare and unusual Moorish oval eight leg side table with a brass removable top embossed with a medieval lioness holding a sword while her cub feeds from her.
With eight arched fretwork panels running around the upper section, the fine turned legs unite the lower shelf raised Moucharabieh turnings within a gallery running around the sides.
The legs have a double raised turned detail below and above the lower shelf, a subtle detail taking them to elegant slender sabre feet.
A similar table is illustrated in Liberty's Furniture 1875-1915. The Birth of Modern Interior Design by Daryl Bennett. Illustration 1.36.
Width: 26.38 in (67 cm)
Depth: 19.29 in (49 cm)
