This small Napoleon III side table in ebonized wood and precious wood marquetry displays all the decorative refinement of the 19th century. It features a thuya burl top enhanced by marquetry of light and stained wood with delicately arranged geometric patterns. Its undulating top is encircled by an openwork brass gallery highlighted by a molding that accentuates its elegant lines. The front also adopts a subtle movement and opens with a finely integrated drawer, adorned with a chiseled bronze knob that testifies to the care taken with the smallest details. The whole rests on four exquisitely turned legs, connected by two stretcher shelves also veneered in thuya burl and edged with molding, creating a perfect harmony between structure, materials, and decoration. This piece embodies the precious and sophisticated spirit of the Napoleon III style, where the virtuosity of rare woods converses with the brilliance of bronze to offer a piece of furniture that is at once decorative, functional, and Resolutely elegant. ********* Period: Second half of the 19th century Excellent condition after restoration in our cabinetmaking workshop.
