Phillip Webb for Morris and Co. A rare sidetable

SOLD

A rare sidetable designed by Phillip Webb and made by Morris and Co with a shaped and moulded top with 6 turned legs all united by subtle turned upper side stretchers and lower radiating stretchers with wavy shaped bottoms precisely joined at the centre. The underneath of the table top is as beautifully made as the rest of the table with a complicated array of flat supports for the legs which also hold the top firmly together stopping any shrinkage or joint separation and the ends of these are finished with precise chamfered edges. A beautifully made table with wonderful proportions. An early design classic of museum quality showing the true beginnings of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Circa 1880's.
