DESCRIPTION
A charming Continental painted and gilt two-tier étagère or side table, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. With its elegant proportions, shaped tiers and hand-painted decoration, it makes a particularly attractive occasional table for both traditional and more eclectic interiors.
The shaped upper tier is decorated with a romantic figural scene of a young woman within a landscape, with an indistinct signature and date to the lower right. The lower tier is similarly hand painted with a landscape scene. Both are supported on slender turned uprights with a distressed gilt-painted finish, terminating in elegant splayed feet.
A highly decorative and unusual piece, ideally suited as a lamp table, bedside table or occasional table.
DIMENSIONS
Height: 71 cm Width: 51 cm Depth: 37 cm
CONDITION
The table is in good, solid condition and presents very well, retaining an attractive aged and decorative finish.
There are light marks, scratches, knocks and areas of wear to the painted and gilt decoration commensurate with age and use. One of the supports has been historically re-fixed to the upper tier and is secure. The naturally aged and slightly distressed finish complements the character of the piece and it remains both attractive and practical for use.
As with all antique and vintage furniture, this piece has been used and enjoyed over many years and should be expected to show signs of age and use. We aim to describe any significant faults, repairs or alterations as accurately and honestly as possible. The photographs form an important part of the description and should be viewed alongside the written condition report.
