Description
Algerian pedestal table
Ottoman Empire, probably Algeria, Second half of the 19th century
With octagonal top resting on four legs connected by a circular top, in carved wood, painted in polychrome, and lacquered. The top has lost its marquetry.
73 x 45 cm (28.7 x 17.7 in.)
This type of furniture, at the crossroads of ceremonial furniture and the utilitarian table, illustrates the European Orientalist imagination as much as a local craft inspired by Ottoman heritage.
A painted wood Ottoman-style coffee-table, Algeria, 2nd part of 19th century.
