Anglo-Indian Occasional Table, circa 1860

Madras Presidency, circa 1860

Ebony with replaced mirrored top

This intricately carved stand exemplifies mid-19th century Anglo-Indian craftsmanship, blending British domestic form with South Indian artisanal virtuosity. The spiral-turned legs, mirrored top, and pierced lower stretcher reflect both Victorian design influence and regional carving traditions. Crafted in dense ebony, the table’s floral and foliate motifs suggest workshop origins in the Madras Presidency, where colonial patronage fostered hybrid forms of functional elegance
