A beautiful British colonial Rosewood occasional table with octagonal shape. The top features a radiating central circular medallion of floral scrolls framed by a dense garden of fine vines, and stylised with trees and paired animals. The surface is completely carpeted with this intricate Mughal‑inspired foliate pattern using ivory bone and ebony inlay. The top edge is finished with a diamond-and-dot running border, visually tying it to the octagonal under frieze. This lends the piece to a refined, jewel-like quality characteristic of late 19th to early 20th century. The table top is supported by an arcaded inlaid folding base. The inlay work is indicative of Hoshiarpur work from Northern India.

The table is in good condition and has been lovingly restored and finished to its former glory using a traditional form of French polishing and waxing. The dark ebony colour gives sharply defined contrast to the ivory inlay work.
