Rare 18th Century oak wine table – Isle of Man

Apartment entrance display.
Being terribly overstocked, (but not complaining) I’ve taken this walnut entrance table to my apartment to create more shop space and over decorate my entrance!
My usual entrance pieces are also quite out of my usual style, but having a retro 1970 built apartment, I wanted something different from the interior at the door.
Not my usual style or periods, but had to have these unique pieces✨✨
A decorative glass top occasional table, with golden toned cast iron lotus leaves.
The glass top accentuates the beautiful stepped leaf design.
All I have on mine at home is a scented candle.
The striking beauty for all to see.
