This fine quality 19th-century French mahogany and inlaid pedestal features a three-tier octagonal dumb waiter, also known as a cake stand. The piece showcases three graduated octagonal trays, each intricately inlaid with a variety of geometric motifs. A central tapering support elevates the trays, which are elegantly raised on three splayed feet. Crafted from fine-quality woods in an array of colours, this dumb waiter demonstrates exceptional workmanship and attention to detail. The piece also exhibits a beautiful patina, enhancing its antique charm.
