Rare 1880\'s Liberty & Co. Moorish Mashrabiya Carved Fretwork Rosewood Tea Table For Sale

Offered is this exceptionally beautiful antique solid rosewood square Mashrabiya side table attributed to Liberty& Co. London (c.1880\'s). Crafted from heavy (20 lbs), dark, solid rosewood, this table somehow manages to be light on its feet and airy. This is an outstanding example of the Anglo Indian design branch of the Victorian Era Aesthetic Design Movement; rich dark rosewood, open fretwork, and elegant Moorish arch leg silhouettes. The table top is profusely carved with multi-tier geometric borders centering a hand-tooled inset floral medallion. Exceptional pierced hand-carved Mashrabiya latticework screens decorate all four upper panels. Exquisite, architecturally inspired Moorish arches form the legs, providing structural geometry and openness in the square overall shape. It measures 24\" high x 18\" x 18\" During the late 19th century, Liberty & Co. launched its famous \"Eastern Art Galleries,\" importing and retailing high-end Moorish and mashrabiya furniture to buyers interested in the Victorian Era Aesthetic Movement. The general descriptive term \"Anglo Indian\" was commonly used as well.True solid-rosewood variants like this one are highly sought after by collectors of 19th-century Aesthetic Movement furniture. This tea table has an exceptionally graceful and visually pleasing design. Of the mashrabiya design inspired tables, this one stands out as especially lovely. It is visually arresting and balanced at the same time allowing light and air to easily pass through its open geometric structure. The square design is not common; many Anglo-Indian table and stand designs are octagonal following the Moorish tradition. In person pickup only.
