Up for sale is a beautiful, authentic 19th-century English miniature brass tilt-top table, historically used as a candle reflector and fireplace screen.When placed next to a candlestick or hearth, the polished top tilts vertically to catch the flame, bouncing warm light back into the room while acting as a minor heat shield.Design & Features:Classic Styling: Features an elegant serpentine-edged tabletop, a beautifully turned abacus-style center pedestal stem, and a stable three-legged tripod base terminating in pad feet.Period Construction: The underside reveals a rough, unpolished dark texture characteristic of historic sand-casting techniques.

The brass shows light, authentic age-related surface wear, faint swirling from historical polishing, and minor oxidation on the underside, all of which confirm its age and add to its historic charm. No cracks, major dents, or structural repairs. The hinge operates smoothly. (Please review all photos closely as they form part of the condition description).An exceptional, rare find for collectors of early lighting accessories, dollhouse miniatures, or Georgian brassware.
