This very unusual antique occasional table looks a bit 'Moorish' & it could possibly be a 'Liberty's piece. I would say it dates from around the 1890-1910 period & it's very heavy for the size. The main wood on it looks like walnut or mahogany, with some thinner carved strips of ebonized wood around the centre & the base. There are also some small inlaid flower patterns on the sides & arched openings in the top section. On the top is copper, which wraps around the edge too. Some of the top edge corners of the copper are a little bit sharp, where the copper has slightly opened up or been knocked at some point. This table is in original condition & structurally sound.

This table is not all that old, probably about 30-40 years & it has quite a high gloss finish. What I particularly like about it is the high quality of the marquetry & inlays of many different woods. I believe it's either Italian or Swiss.

Antique Queen Anne style walnut nest of three tables, nicely carved with burr walnut veneers on the tops. They are in good condition, structurally sound & have glass tops too if required. I would say they date to around the 1930's period.

Elegant antique Regency style burr walnut sofa table, with two drawers on the front & two dummies on the back. It has lyre ends, brass claw feet with casters & a turned stretcher which gives it extra stability. The burr walnut has a lovely figuring & a good mellow colour. I would say this table dates to around the 1930's period & it is in good condition.
