Liberty and Co. a Rare and Unusual Moorish Oval Eight Leg Side Table

Liberty and Co. A rare and unusual Moorish oval eight leg side table with a brass removable top embossed with a medieval lioness holding a sword while her cub feeds from her. With eight arched fretwork panels running around the upper section the fine turned legs uniting the lower shelf raised Moucharabieh turnings within a gallery running around the sides. The legs have a double raised turned detail below and above the lower shelf a subtle detail taking them to elegant slender sabre feet. A similar table is Illustrated in Liberty's Furniture 1875-1915.
