Description:
An Anton Seuffert Parquetry Star Pattern Card Table. This variant on the 'standard' Seuffert Star pattern was located in Auckland. The Star design is amongst the oldest parquetry patterns used by Anton Seuffert, the earliest known example dating from prior to 1869. This example exhibits a pattern variation from norm with an additional pale veneer border around the outer edges of the star pattern. The veneers on the top have retained strong colouring and the substrate timber has remained stable, making this a very good, crisp, original version of this particular Seuffert pattern. A number of these tables located in Britain suggest they were popular as souvenirs and it is likely that many returned with Imperial troops.
