A wonderful 19th century occasional table in walnut , possibly from the Isle of Man.

The well patinated circular top supported by a three beautifully turned columns, raised on three down swept cabriole legs terminating in feet. The shaped legs resembling the Isle of Man flag.

The flag features three running legs bent at the knees conjoined at the centre. Local residents of the Isle of Man explain that the legs turn anti-clockwise so that they don’t kneel to the English. The use of the emblem on the flag in the Isle of Man dates back to the 13th Century.
