A side table, featuring a square bevelled-edge marble top in tones of cream and pale pink with grey veining. The base is of composite construction, finished in a distressed cream crackle-glaze with highlights to the relief work. The apron is decorated on all four sides with high-relief moulded floral swags, depicting roses and foliage picked out in pastel shades of pink, yellow, and green. The table is supported by four tapered legs with fluted capitals and banded feet. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the item.
Condition report:
The table shows signs of wear and surface degradation. The marble top exhibits numerous fine surface scratches (photo 2) and a large, irregular area of discolouration and surface degradation to one corner (photo 3). The base shows significant paint loss and abrasions, particularly on the relief-carved flowers, leg capitals, and feet (photo 1, 4). Minor chips and abrasions are present to the raised elements of the floral apron (photo 4). The crackle-glaze finish is a deliberate decorative feature.
