Antique French Renaissance Barley Twist Octagonal End Table is an exceptional example of the genre!  Hand-carved from select old-growth oak, it features foliate gadrooning on all eight edges of the top, under which appears a contoured transitional apron, below which appears the carved apron sections in eight facets alternating between a winged angel and bounty-of-the-earth symbolism.  Support is provided by four massive barley twist legs cut so that they appear to taper from top to bottom, where they are affixed to plinth blocks with pyramidal rosettes, the back side of which is connected with a barley twist "X" stretcher centered with a turned orb finial.  Bold bun feet complete the look.
Circa early 1900s
