Carlo X Work Table
An elegant and refined Neapolitan work table from the reign of Charles X, dating from the early 19th century, crafted from maple wood with amaranth inlays.
A piece of exquisite craftsmanship and great grace, typical of the small dressing and embroidery tables intended for the ladies’ parlors of the era, where functionality and beauty merged into a single object of everyday luxury.
The rectangular upper section features a hinged dome-shaped lid that opens like a book, revealing a precious mirror recessed into the lid and a compartment lined with ruby-red velvet, designed to hold threads, needles, jewelry, and small sewing supplies. The closure is completed by elegant hinges and an iron support mechanism.
Beneath the lid, the table features two drawers stacked one above the other at the front, with iron grilles, and paneled sides. All surfaces are accented by a thin amaranth trim that precisely frames the warm, golden grain of the maple, creating a refined chromatic contrast and a decorative rhythm of great elegance.The structure rests on four sabre-shaped legs, curved and arched, with curled finials, joined at the bottom by a triangular—or crescent-shaped—lower shelf that houses a small wooden thread holder in the center, an original and delightful detail that confirms the piece’s original use as a sewing table.
The slender lines, balanced proportions, and quality of the veneer make this side table a perfect example of Neapolitan Charles X-era cabinetmaking, in which neoclassical rigor is softened by more fluid and sinuous forms.
A versatile and highly charming piece, ideal as a side table in an entryway, bedroom, living room, or next to a reading chair.
