Description
A 20th-century coffee table designed in the Louis XVI revival style. The table features a circular top of grey and white veined marble with a molded edge. The mahogany and fruitwood apron is divided into panels with fruitwood stringing, each inset with a circular porcelain medallion. These medallions depict various romantic pastoral or galante scenes in the Sevres style, framed by gilt-metal laurel wreaths. The base consists of four fluted, tapered legs adorned with gilt-metal bow-and-garland mounts at the capitals. The legs are joined by a curved X-form stretcher centered by a gilt-metal urn finial. Each leg terminates in a gilt-metal foliated sabot foot. A paper tag from a previous sale is attached to the stretcher.
Height: 20 inches
Diameter: 28 inches.
Condition report:
Overall good condition consistent with age and use. The marble top shows natural veining and minor surface scratches. The woodwork exhibits small nicks, scuffs, and light finish wear, particularly near the base of the legs. Gilt-metal mounts show oxidation and tarnishing, with visible green verdigris present on the sabot feet. The porcelain medallions are intact and retain bright colors.
