Bordeaux Table Called "cabaret" In Cuban Mahogany, From The 18th Century.

Rare table called "cabaret" or "in cabaret" or even "à cabaret" in solid Cuban mahogany, opening with a drawer in the belt. This table is distinguished by its elegant simplicity highlighting the brilliance of its beautiful mahogany, and it is necessary to note the grace of its curves, the fretwork of the belts in beautiful harmony with the "whiplash" of its Louis XV base. We are dealing here with the true cabaret table, refined piece of furniture born from the fashion of new drinks of salons, tea, chocolate then coffee, table whose solid top is hollowed out over its entire surface to form a sort of bowl with a slightly rounded edge intended to hold cups and glasses. Large drawer in the belt, four feet ending in sabots. These precious little tables were very popular in the major Atlantic ports that imported these drinks from the Americas and the Orient. They were very popular in the castles of the nobility and the private mansions of wealthy merchants, before becoming fashionable in Paris. Very good original condition, some grafts at the end of the legs and at the corner of the drawer. Bordeaux - mid-18th century Delivery possible, please contact us.
