"Mahogany Worker - Late 19th Century"
The worker is a functional piece of furniture invented as early as 1750. But it was from the 1780s that it really took off before becoming an essential piece of furniture in the 1820s. The Louis Philippe style enjoyed great success throughout the 19th century thanks to its sobriety in the use of noble wood species such as mahogany. This piece of furniture is probably a work from the 1870s-1880s. It is made of burl mahogany and sycamore maple veneer. The ogee moldings on the edges of the top of the worker are simple, the turned baluster legs.
