Centre table from circa 1900, made of mahogany wood in the Luigi Filippo antique style, with a circular feather-mohogany veneer top and a central turned column on a three-foot base.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant center table of the mid-1800s era (the full Louis-Philippe period), crafted in fine mahogany wood.
The piece stands out for the elegant circular top veneered with mahogany feather grain, which creates natural symmetry and striking figure. The edge of the top is finished with an owlish beak molding that emphasizes its solidity.
The defining feature is the original tilting sail mechanism (balancing), which allows the top to be flipped to a vertical position via an antique brass catch. This function, typical of bourgeois drawing rooms of the nineteenth century, was designed to optimize space when the table was not in use.
The central support consists of a robust turned baluster column, resting on a three-foot tripod base. The feet end in elegant volutes and retain their original metal casters, perfectly functional, which facilitate moving it.
Conditions
The table is in good, original condition, with normal signs of time and use consistent with its age. There are a few small period restorations on the edge (visible in close-up photos) and light superficial wear on the polish of the top, which do not compromise its stability or charm, but attest to its authenticity. The patina is warm and deep.
