Early Victorian Zebrawood & Rosewood Centre Table

An early Victorian zebrawood and rosewood centre table, featuring a striking zebrawood top and legs, with a rosewood frieze. Zebrawood is an exotic hardwood native to West Africa, principally found in countries including Cameroon and Gabon. It is prized for its distinctive striped grain, which gives the appearance of a zebra’s markings, making it one of the most decorative cabinet woods used during the Victorian period. The shaped frieze is decorated with elegant scroll carving and suspended turned pendants, whilst the table is supported by ornate pierced lyre-shaped end supports, united by a spiral twist stretcher. It stands on scrolling splayed feet, completing the distinctive design. A decorative and practical piece, equally suited for use as a centre table, console table, or behind a sofa. Provenance Sotheby’s, Barnwell Manor, Northampton 28–30 May 2002, Lot 370.
