Description:
Chip-carved Art & Crafts Period Table c.1900 This table, similar to that shown on p190 Furniture of the New Zealand Colonial Era is a finely executed example of chip-carving, and perhaps the inclusion of the butterfly pattern on the lower shelf is indicative of a feminine carver. As part of the Arts & Crafts movement and as an indicator of a more settled and prosperous life in New Zealand, chip-carving was often adopted as a pastime by the leisured. It was not unusual for a husband to produce an object that his wife would later decorate, as evidenced by records showing exhibition pieces entered by husband and wife partnerships. Height 75 cm Width 56 cm Also refer to previous lot
