This exquisite hand-painted English satinwood parlor table features a beautifully refined design and is embellished with delicate floral and classical motifs—hallmarks of the Edwardian style. Lighter woods such as satinwood and airy forms gained favor during this period, as opposed to the heavier, darker mahogany designs of the Victorian era. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the parlor was considered the heart of a household’s social life, and a finely crafted example such as this would have symbolized a wealthy family's hospitality, refinement and social standing.
