AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Refined Italian service table or dressing table, made between 1900 and 1910, an elegant example of Art Nouveau craftsmanship inspired by the Napoleon III style.
The piece of furniture stands out for the lightness of the sinuous lines of the legs in ebonized wood, slender and delicate, which lend propulsion and harmony to the structure. The top and the lower shelf are enriched by a rich marquetry decoration that combines various precious woods: thuja, cherry, mahogany, walnut, and boxwood. The central floral motif is surrounded by elaborate geometric and arabesque frames, which enhance the natural color contrasts of the woods used. Particular care has been given to the gilded bronze applications that frame the profiles and enrich the front drawer with a finely worked handle. An original mirror is present inside, in good condition.
To be noted: restoration concerning the repair of the legs.
A quality piece capable of combining functionality with decorative appeal, ideal as an elegant accent in both classic and modern interiors.
Seller's Story
I have always been passionate about our past, knowing it is the only thing that does not cease the connection between what is and what was.
When I reached the right age I understood that my passion had to coincide with my work and so I opened a business.
The key principles are quality and love towards the customer.
