Description from the seller
The Bouillotte table you mention is a mid-20th-century reinterpretation of the Louis XVI style, preserving the essential features of the original model but with a more modern and functional construction.
Formal features
• Round table made of mahogany, with a warm finish and visible grain that reinforce its classic air.
• It has two integrated side drawers in the table’s rim, discreet and well-assembled, designed for small desk objects or accessories.
• The straight, striated legs, slightly tapering downward, evoke the neoclassical language of the Louis XVI reign, where pure lines and symmetry prevailed.
• The overall design maintains balanced proportions and an elegant presence without excessive ornamentation.
Aesthetics and era
• Although inspired by 18th-century models, this piece dates from the second half of the 20th century, when reissues of historical styles with noble woods and high-quality finishes became popular.
• The mahogany provides a deep, refined tone, closely associated with prestigious furniture and with reinterpretations of neoclassical aesthetics.
Function and decorative presence
• It is an ideal table for a reading corner, a classic study, or a living room with traditional touches.
• Its size and drawers make it practical without losing its decorative character.
• It blends well with both classical environments and contemporary interiors that seek a piece with history and personality.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
