Late 18th Century Swiss Louis XV Style Louis XV Style Salon Cabinet, Richly Inlaid With Marquetry, Double Marble Gallery

I present here a delightful late 18th-century Swiss Louis XV style piece of furniture. It features cabriole legs, a pink marble top, and a lower, marquetry stretcher top depicting a natural landscape with a deer pond. The sides of the cabinet are decorated with stylized leaves and flowers. It opens with double doors and is surmounted by a drawer. This well-crafted and ornamental piece shows Italian influence, evident in the light woods that decorate its cabinet. This functional end table, with its two levels, a niche with doors, and the upper drawer, serves as a side table. The openwork bronze galleries, framing the top in a flowing design, emphasize the preciousness of this companion piece. It rests on bronze sabots, and the double doors open with matching turned knobs. The carefully crafted solid wood insets are beautifully constructed. The light lemonwood and rosewood decoration on the sides, along with the lively landscape on the lower shelf, all contribute to the piece's considerable decorative appeal. Useful for placing a lamp and storing various objects, it will be perfect in the living room or in a beautiful bedroom as a bedside table, or in an entrance; its small size offers multiple possibilities.
