Table With Rattan Appraisal

Painted Rattan Lattice-Top Accent Table

This item is a round rattan or wicker accent table, painted in an off-white or very light cream color. The table features a woven lattice top, comprising a series of intersecting horizontal and vertical strips forming square or rectangular openings. The top rim is made of a thicker, curved piece of rattan, providing a substantial edge. Below the top, the sides of the table are constructed from vertically oriented, curved pieces of rattan, which appear to bow outwards slightly before curving back inwards to form a pedestal-like base. The construction suggests that the individual rattan pieces are wrapped and secured, likely with bindings that are now concealed by the paint. The paint finish exhibits significant wear and chipping, revealing a darker material, possibly the natural rattan color or a previous finish, underneath. There are also visible scuff marks and areas where the paint appears thin or has completely worn away, particularly along the edges and curves. Some areas show a greenish tint, which could be residue from a previous dirt accumulation or attempts at repair/repainting. The overall condition suggests moderate to heavy use and age-related wear, consistent with an item that has been repainted at least once. The style is indicative of casual, perhaps bohemian or coastal decor prevalent from the mid-20th century onwards. No discernible manufacturer's marks or signatures are visible in the provided images. The craftsmanship appears to be reasonably solid, given the woven nature of the material, but the paint condition detracts from its aesthetic appeal and suggests a need for refinishing or restoration.
