Description from the seller
Refined center table with a sail-like design from the mid-19th century (full Louis-Philippe period), made of precious mahogany wood.
The piece stands out for its elegant circular top veneered in mahogany feather, which creates natural symmetry and striking grain. The edge of the top is finished with an owl-beak moulding that emphasizes its solidity.
The defining feature is the original sail mechanism (tilting), which allows the top to be flipped to a vertical position via an antique brass latch. This function, typical of bourgeois drawing rooms in the 19th century, was designed to optimize space when the table was not in use.
The central support consists of a sturdy turned baluster column, resting on a three-foot base (tripod). The feet end in elegant volutes and retain their original metal casters, perfectly functional, which facilitate movement.
Conditions
The table presents in good original conservational conditions. Normal signs of time and use consistent with the piece’s age are present. Some small period-restoration interventions on the edge are noted (visible in close-up photos) and there are slight superficial losses to the polishing of the top, which do not compromise its stability or charm, but attest to its authenticity. The patina is warm and deep.
