Louis XVI-style Side Table

Louis XVI-style side table
This round veneer table, richly decorated with marquetry, draws inspiration from classic 18th-century neoclassical motifs
The tabletop features a radial sunburst pattern in veneer; the contrasting segments highlight burls with a very pronounced grain, framed by a scalloped ring
The curved apron houses a seamlessly integrated drawer, adorned with delicate boxwood moldings, a central diamond-shaped marquetry inlay, anda timeless brass handle
This intricate marquetry extends across the entire width of the apron as well as onto the legs
It rests on slender legs with a tapered square cross-section, adorned with matching linear marquetry.
The legs are stabilized by a concave, curved X-shaped crossbar, featuring a matching four-quadrant veneer pattern.
58 cm in diameter, 60.5 cm in height.
A few chips in the veneer (see close-up photos on www.vintitch.com), consistent with its age and use.
