Description: Step back in time with this magnificent Anglo-Indian octagonal side table, a treasure from the Edwardian era (1901-1910), reflecting the opulent fusion of British elegance and Indian artisanry. This handcrafted table celebrates the art of inlay and carving with its intricate harvest scene – a tribute to the vibrant culture and agricultural heritage of India.
Each leg is a masterpiece, sculpted with the noble form of an elephant's head, a revered symbol of wisdom and power in Indian tradition.

The wood inlay retains its intricate detail, telling the story of the harvest in vibrant fashion. Please note that there is a small testament to its age and history: one of the elephant tusks has broken over time. This minor imperfection adds to the table's narrative, emphasizing its authenticity and journey through time.
