Arts & Crafts Jacobean Revival Side Table in Fumed Oak – England, c.1910
This is a study in "Old English" romance. A striking Jacobean Revival occasional table that perfectly captures the Edwardian fascination with 17th-century craftsmanship. The piece is defined by its table top—a solid oak surface framed by a deeply hand-carved Lunette and Fan border. This "sunburst" motif is a tactile delight, catching the light and drawing the eye, transforming a functional object into a decorative anchor.
Below, the table is raised on four tightly turned Barley Twist legs, a signature of the style that adds a sense of vertical movement and lightness. The oak itself boasts a rich, historic patina—a deep, tobacco-warm hue that only decades of care can produce. It is solid, grounded, and unmistakably British.
The Interior Stylist's Note: This table commands a "Dark Academia" or "heritage" aesthetic. It is too detailed to be hidden in a corner. Use it as a dedicated lamp table in a reading nook, paired with a velvet armchair, where the light can play across the carved lunettes. Alternatively, it works beautifully as a bedside anchor in a room with Morris & Co. wallpaper.
Condition & Restoration: Honest Historical Patina. The table has been cleaned and re-waxed to preserve the original finish. The joinery is solid with no wobbles. The oak shows minor historic marks consistent with age, which we have chosen to leave as evidence of its journey.
