Canabas: Tilting Pedestal Table In Solid Speckled Mahogany - Louis XVI Period, Stamp And Jme

Library pedestal table or living room table in tea table format in lemonwood and mahogany veneer, tilting cabaret top, in solid speckled mahogany (luxury mahogany). The fluted shaft rests on a tripod base with skate feet. Louis XVI period, late 18th century. Canabas stamp and JME jurande hallmark. Joseph Gengenbach known as Canabas (1715-1797) master in 1766: both cabinetmaker and carpenter, he used both veneer and solid wood, mainly mahogany. Canabas then established himself as a specialist in fancy, practical and often newly designed furniture. He thus produced a large number of small and carefully crafted pieces of furniture during his career. His style is very particular: he uses mahogany wood of a rare quality, a remarkable color, a very tight grain and he stands out in the perfection of their cabinetmaking. Extreme sobriety is required, leaving only a few discreet moldings for any decoration. Bronzes are practically absent. Our pedestal table is typical of his work. The pedestal table is light and elegant. Beautiful amateur furniture. Very good condition, the old varnish has been cleaned and revived by our cabinetmaker. Some traces of old restorations.
