An beautiful English Art Nouveau side table attributed to Liberty of London, featuring richly hand-carved floral decoration throughout. The octagonal top and lower shelf are covered in bold, overlapping sunflower motifs, while four curved legs continue the carved botanical detailing. A wonderfully sculptural piece with a warm, aged finish.
Liberty & Co. was known for commissioning distinctive furniture and decorative objects from specialist makers for sale through its London store. Around the turn of the century, many of these pieces drew inspiration from Asian design, with Japanese and Chinese forms and ornament contributing to the exotic, Chinoiserie-influenced aesthetic associated with Liberty furnishings.
Pieces were often marked or numbered on the underside with painted or handwritten inventory, model, or workshop numbers—a practical system used to identify designs and stock. The handwritten numbers visible beneath this table are consistent with this type of period workshop or inventory marking, though they are not, on their own, a definitive Liberty maker’s mark.
Dimensions:
20" L x 20" D x 28" H
Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear, including surface rubbing, scratches and areas of finish loss, particularly along the edges and feet.
