Antique-style tall wooden table dating from 1930–1940, made of wood, with a slim vertical silhouette and dimensions 67 cm high, 55 cm wide and 55 cm deep.
Description from the seller
It is a high table that faithfully captures the spirit of Louis XVI reinterpreted in the first half of the 20th century, when many workshops continued to rely on that Neoclassical language for its sober elegance and its ability to ennoble any room. The piece rests on a slender, vertical silhouette that conveys lightness without losing firmness, as if it wished to raise the top and present it almost as a small domestic altar.
The wood — light, well polished, with a restrained sheen — accentuates that refined vocation. The legs, straight and slightly fluted, evoke the striped columns of the classical repertoire, with that geometric precision that characterizes the Louis XVI style. They do not seek to attract attention through exuberance, but through proportion and balance. The top, with clean lines, finishes with a discreet edge that frames the surface and reinforces the sense of a cared-for piece, meant to display a vase, a lamp, or a special object.
There is in the whole a very characteristic mix from the first third of the 20th century: respect for neoclassical tradition, a taste for symmetry and formal clarity, and at the same time a certain simplification that announces more modern sensibilities. It is a table that does not seek to impose itself, but to contribute a touch of serene distinction, of those furniture pieces that elevate the ambiance without raising their voice.
