A RECTANGULAR INDIAN BRASS LOW TABLE  Baroda, Gujarat, India, late 19th century  Of typical shape, made of a wooden core covered in hammered brass sheets, with varying scrolling foliate ornament, on four paw feet, on the back a paper label stating 'Prepared by Chhaganlal and Vrajlal, Sons to Mistry Raghunath Tribhovan, Visnagar N. Gujarat, Baroda State', 42cm x 51.5cm. The Tribhuvan family, made of the father Raghunath and the two sons Chhaganlal and Vrajlal, were famous specialist craftsmen who produced silver and brass-covered furniture. Their production seemed to be particularly appreciated and sought after in the West and possibly thus why their pieces are often marked and signed in English. All their furniture tends to share the same features, i.e. square, with scrolling foliate ornaments and pronounced paw feet. A similar example of Tribhuvan brass low table sold at Christie's, 22 May 2008, lot 310.
