Very Large Middle Table - Boulle Marquetry XIX

Exceptional Center Table "Boulle marquetry in very good condition, a beveled glass and placed to protect the marquetry on the top. Ceremonial table in the shape of a violin, with a structure in blackened pear wood, almost entirely covered with a "boulle" marquetry. This technique, which consists of a superposition of Red Tortoise Shells and chiseled brass, allows to obtain these arabesques, foliages and volutes of great finesse. The curves and counter-curves of the top are highlighted by a wide brass rod shaped into foliage. The moving belt, following the lines of the top, opens on the front with a drawer assembled in dovetails. In addition to the "Boulle" marquetry framed by brass rods, the four sides of this table are also decorated in their centers with four bronze mascarons. The whole rests on four generously curved legs, embellished Espagnolettes in the upper part, Sabots in the lower part, and Fillets of ridges uniting them. This "Boulle" Table will conquer lovers of Chic, Refined Furniture, having benefited from a Careful Restoration in the rules of the Art. It could become THE piece of your home towards which all eyes will turn.
