A beautiful and highly decorative British colonial rosewood console table supported by four profusely carved legs terminating into mythical animal faces at the table top.

The top consists of a fine figured piece of rosewood and a broad band of richly carved foliage design and animal figures around the edge. It features a beautifully carved frieze with a central flower flanked by two birds. The scalloped shaped apron is intricately carved and pierced with scrolling foliage with a carved mystical bird at centre, the lower edge with a border of stylized leaves and the upper edge with a border of ovals.
The four legs are connected through a carved and pierced x-stretcher with a nicely carved finial.

The table is in excellent condition and has been lovingly restored and finished to its former glory using a traditional form of French polishing and waxing. The rosewood has a dark shade with a striking grain.
