Product description
This Japanese Art Nouveau side table from the 1920s is a striking example of early twentieth-century metalwork. The piece is defined by its naturalistic motifs, most notably the cast dragonfly resting on the surface, which exemplifies the organic vocabulary of the era. Constructed from a combination of bronze and brass, the table features a wide oval tray top with a continuous wave-patterned rim and curled handles. The surface is detailed with hand-chiseled floral engravings. The base consists of three curved legs, textured to resemble tree branches, which cross near the centre and are joined by a cluster of cast metal blossoms and vines. The interplay of bronze and brass creates a warm, layered tonality throughout the piece. The table remains in good condition, displaying a natural patina consistent with its age and use. The structural integrity of the cast metal components is fully preserved, maintaining the original character of the design. Scaled as a small occasional table, this piece is well-suited for placement beside an armchair or as a sculptural accent in an entry hall. Its intricate detailing and organic silhouette make it a compelling addition to both classical and eclectic interiors.
