A rare and exhibition-quality masterpiece, this Double Sutherland Tea Table by the renowned cabinetmakers Morison of Edinburgh represents the pinnacle of late 19th-century British craftsmanship. Circa 1890, this extraordinary piece features serpentine-shaped flaps adorned with profuse marquetry in figured walnut over a rosewood ground, exquisitely framed with kingwood banding and elegant cast brass rims.
The upper tier rests upon a graceful arched support accented with ormolu mounts, while the lower section stands proudly on finely shaped cabriole legs with additional ormolu detailing. Both sculptural and functional, this remarkable etagere transforms from a refined accent table into a fully extended tea table.
