Floral Marquetry Pedestal Conference Table Magnificent mahogany double pedestal Victorian conference table. The shaped top has a line inlay around the outside with a stunning floral marquetry center. There is a vase in the center from which the flowers flow. A pair of winged serpents with bird heads and a dark face are below the vase. The claws and eyes are enhanced - possibly made of bone or ivory. There are two serpentine front drawers with original brass handles on both sides of this table. The skirt, pedestals and platform base all exhibit extensive marquetry. This table is extremely well made with oak and mahogany secondary woods - obviously very heavy. It sets on castors that are old but not original. From the quality of the construction and inlay we believe it was made by R. J. Horner, NYC but since we have never seen another like this we can not make a firm attribution. This is a special table of spectacular beauty!
