A mid-20th century side table in the African tribal art style, circa 1960s, featuring a removable brass tray top and a folding hardwood base. The circular tray is constructed with a scalloped, raised rim and decorated with detailed chased and etched foliate and geometric motifs. The base is carved from a reddish-brown hardwood into stylized animal forms, featuring an interlocking central mechanism that allows the legs to fold flat. This design is characteristic of sculptural hardwood furniture produced in the mid-century period. No maker marks or inscriptions are visible on the brass or wooden components.
