A handsome mid-nineteenth century cedar pedestal occasional table, dating to the early Victorian period.
The circular moulded top raised on a boldly turned baluster pedestal, above a low circular platform base terminating in three projecting feet.
Of particularly attractive warm colour and patina, with pleasing compact proportions and a restrained architectural form. The timber and construction are consistent with Australian colonial cedar furniture of the period.
In good antique condition, with expected wear, marks and surface variation commensurate with age, together with historic strengthening and repairs beneath the base.
Australia, c. 1840–60.
Dimensions: 63cm diameter, 56cm tall.
