Description
A striking late 20th century hand-painted folding occasional table, executed in the English country house style popularized by luxury decorative furniture makers of the 1980s and 1990s.
The painted surface features a theatrical portrait of a reclining spaniel posed atop a tiger rug, set within a richly layered interior scene with draped textiles, classical furniture elements, and a decorative monogrammed detail. The composition is framed by a painted studded border and corner flourishes, giving the table the appearance of a framed painting when displayed.
The table folds easily, making it both functional and versatile-ideal as an occasional table, side table, or decorative accent in a library, sitting room, dressing room, or entry. The folding X-base is hand-painted to complement the top, continuing the decorative motif throughout.
This piece is in the style of Maitland Smith, reflecting the brand's celebrated aesthetic, though it is not marked or attributed to that maker.
A distinctive and conversation-worthy piece with strong English, Palm Beach Regency, and grandmillennial appeal.
