Victorian Aesthetic Movement inlaid parlor table. This fine table is an excellent example of 19th century "Modern Gothic" ( Eastlake) in a pure form with a deep heavy crenellated apron, Egyptian style legs, turned columns and finials. Both the top and base have inset marquetry inlaid panels, the top one is a left and right facing Sphinx holding up a table filled with musical instruments all surrounded by a large elaborate decorative inlay. The inlay is in an ebonized panel and that panel is set in a burled top with incising at the corners. The smaller lower shelf is also inlaid on an ebonized panel, featuring a page of sheet music, instruments and flowers. All original in good over-all condition, with a small amount of gilding still visible in the incised detail. Re-polished. 30" tall x 33" x 24" top. Price 4600.00
