The Lord Raffles Grand Hall Lion Leg Coffee Table
The Lord Raffles Grand Hall Lion Leg Coffee Table
Hand-carved solid mahogany antique replica
Our exclusive, medieval antique replica is a stunning masterpiece boasting deeply carved lions heads with bared teeth, majestic lion paws and heraldic crests carved into each side. Toscano craftsmen take more than ten days to create this handsome table from fine mahogany, hand-rubbing it to a burnished finish and distressing it just enough to replicate a true antique. Named after Lord Samford Raffles, who founded the British colony of Singapore, this statement piece is an investment in fine European styling.

Sir Stamford Raffles
On first seeing Singapore, which was then a small fishing village, Raffles, a particularly forward-looking and benevolent agent of the East India Company, grasped its potential as an entrepot (or trans-shipment) port. He thereupon purchased the island for the East India Company from the Sultan of Johor and invited Chinese and Indians to immigrate to the new town, thus inaugurating Singapore's present multi-cultural society. During the short time that Raffles visited Singapore, he founded a girl's school and other institutions.
Unfortunately, his wife and children died there from illness, and shortly after his return to England he died of a brain tumor, having lost his fortune when a bank in India crashed. Some months before his death, the British government refused a pension for Raffles, one the most important, as well as most benign, creators of the British Empire.

"I ordered this piece and when it arrived with a minor flaw. Design Toscano replaced the piece with no questions asked. Impressive in today's world! The table is gorgeous! It's solid wood! (no laminates), well made, heavy, strong (you could stand on it), and the workmanship is beautiful! I've received many compliments on it! Thank you DT!"
"We have wanted this table for YEARS. I got it for my hubby for christmas and its gorgeous, even more impressive in person than in the photos. Very beautiful and sturdy."
"This piece is absolutely gorgeous. It has a bit more of a mahogony tint to it than in the picture, but that is exactly what I was hoping for. The carving is just exquisite. It looks like a much more expensive piece and is extremely solid. The piece arrived in flawless condition thanks to the excellent packing job. What an amazing piece for the price. I've looked for this for years to match my other furniture. It was well worth the wait!!"
