Description

This lot features two mismatched wooden side tables with decorative wood inlay. The first is a kidney shaped petite commode in the Louis XV revival style. It is constructed from walnut or fruitwood with veneers and marquetry. The top depicts a central floral medallion surrounded by a scrolling foliate border. The body contains two curved drawers with floral marquetry and cast metal floral pulls, set on four slender cabriole legs. The second item is a rectangular occasional pedestal table in the late 19th or early 20th century Victorian style. The dark stained hardwood top features complex geometric parquetry including star and diamond motifs with striped borders in contrasting wood tones. The architectural base consists of a central turned post supported by four scrolled buttress style elements with circular cross pattern inlays, terminating in block feet with incised sunburst motifs. No maker marks are present.

Item 1: 26.25 x 17.75 x 11 inches
Item 2: 30 x 16 x 10.75 inches.
