Circular Pedestal Table In Mahogany Veneer, Louis XVI Style, 1st Half 20th Century.

Circular pedestal table in mahogany veneer, resting on three shank uprights topped with female busts and ending in clogs, joined by a crotch tray centered with an openwork basket. Arched feet. Ornaments in bronze and gilded brass such as frieze of scrolls, rosettes, moldings and sabots. Neoclassical Louis XVI style, 1st half of the 20th century. Height: 74 cm. Diameter: 63 cm A pedestal table which is of very good manufacturing quality. So, of course it is 20th century but I would like to come back to some preconceived ideas about this less old, or “modern” but high quality furniture. Gulf customers who are probably the buyers with the highest purchasing power love it. For what ? they favor the “deco” aspect and the majestic side of these copies. The principle of replacement is non-existent. Let us not forget that if the masterpieces of 18th century French cabinetmaking have been copied it is precisely because the vast majority of furniture of prestigious or even royal provenance is already in museums. There are almost no more on the market. The opposite is false. Why have there been so many scandals in recent years in so-called “royal” antique furniture? Precisely because there is no longer this product on the market, so we manufacture…. Often the manufacturing quality is exceptional and having it remade identically would today cost 10x the price, taking into account manufacturing costs (bronze, precious wood veneer, cabinetmaking labor, etc.).
