Indian Silver Entry Table

Silver columns, silver swags and a silver dome in the middle. Nothing about this was meant to be subtle.

This entry table comes from India and is contemporary, in teak wood and silver. Silver-clad furniture has a long history in India, where it was generally made for palaces and wealthy households as a display of status. Four curved posts rise from a square stepped base to carved finials, joined at the top by curving rails. The rails are chased with scrolling leaves and rosettes, and tassels are modeled at each corner. A small domed spire stands at the center of the base. It is 29 inches long, 29 deep and 29 high.

A table for anyone who has never once been accused of understatement.
