This table consists of an octagonal top with central foliate and floral inlaid ivory design leading out to various borders of ebony, quatrefoil and foliate inlaid ivory decoration with outer inlaid ivory moulded edge.

This leads down to the octagonal folding base of Moorish influence, the top section having rectangular panels with ebony & ivory chevron borders and inlaid floral & foliate decoration, the legs having an arcaded design also with inlaid foliate decoration.

Although the base folds, once the top is placed into position the table becomes stable and rigid for use.

This decorative table is in very good condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home.
