Based in stunning Speyside, Moray, Scotland, we (Mr & Mrs W) are passionate about quality antique items with great design and evident craft, predominantly from the 18th, 19th and early 20th century.
In particular, we enjoy period items reflecting the beautiful design and aesthetic changes from the decorative arts, from circa 1850 - 1960. Including the Aesthetic Movement, Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts Movement (In particular of Scottish origin), Modernism, Art Deco and Streamlining. We also enjoy the great craft and quality construction in folk art and vernacular items from across Europe. In particular, Scandinavian decorative items from the 18th and 19th Century. We enjoy being analytical in our approach and supporting our stock with background research, provenance and history through researching the items, the period, designers and retailers.
We often hunt the country from our Scottish location, but routinely search from Lancashire and Yorkshire as well as buying trips further afield to supply items online. We also like to take on items that particularly interest us from earlier periods, dependent on our fascination for an object.
We are always learning, and happy to share knowledge gained, so please do get in touch. Thanks for viewing our selection of stock, we are always pleased to see items pass through our hands to new owners and homes as antiques remain a great green recyclable purchase!

Description
For sale are a highly decorative pair of Ottoman side tables (two sizes) from the late 19th or early 20th century circa 1890-1915.
- These tables are of the dark ebonised wood veneer, marquetry (Sandal, Satin & Cedar wood) and mother of pearl inlay design with good patternation.
- The colours are reminiscent of the colours used on many aesthetic movement pieces of furniture.
- Liberty & Co retailed a range of 'exotic' Ottoman/Syrian/Indian small side table in a number of decorative patterns and of varying sizes.
- The two side tables for sale are of different heights and table-top diameters.
- The smaller diminutive table is in great condition as shown by the photos and the top has been restored.
- The larger antique table is in good un-restored condition and as shown by the photos the table-top has a loss of marquetry and mother of pearl with some knocks to the table edge. Both tables side panels / legs are in good solid condition, it tends to be the main table top inlay surfaces that can suffer from wear.
- **The little inlaid Ottoman tables were probably retailed by Liberty, from whom several versions were available in a number of sizes and styles by Liberty & Co from the earliest days of the store into the early 20th Century.
**Similar pattern Ottoman tables are noted : Page 30; Bennett, D. (2012) Liberty's furniture 1875-1915, The birth of modern interior design.
