This authentic mid-19th-century Russian tea table is a premier example of pre-industrial “Russian Style” craftsmanship. Likely crafted from birch or maple, it features the iconic Khokhloma lacquer technique—a folk craft originating in the 17th century—defined by vibrant hand-painted floral motifs in red and gold against a black ground. The piece is distinguished by its primitive, all-wooden joinery. The presence of original, hand-carved wooden screws confirms its status as an early, handmade antique rather than a later mass-produced reproduction. Originally intended for a samovar, this octagonal table features a lower triangular shelf and three legs adorned with traditional scrolling vine work and medallions. Uniquely, the table can be fully disassembled thanks to its ingenious wooden screw construction, a rare feature that further highlights the skill and practicality of its original maker. The top measures 17.5 inches at its narrowest point and 21.75 inches at its widest point (point to point).
