Credenza - Wood, Bronze, Brass - Louis XV side table

Elegant living-room occasional table (table de salon or chiffonier) made in the Louis XV style and dating to the late nineteenth century (Napoleon III period / Eclecticism). The piece features the typical sinuous and refined silhouette of the period, characterized by slender, gracefully curved cabriole legs joined at the bottom by a practical, shaped spacer shelf. The surface is enhanced by a fine veneers and geometric inlay with floral and ornamental motifs in contrasting precious woods (such as rosewood, bois de rose, or walnut). The decorative details are highlighted by fittings and mounts in gilded bronze or patinated brass, finely chased, placed on the uprights and on foliate-shaped feet. Equipped with a front drawer centered by a contemporary and functional bronze handle.

Condition: The piece is in need of restoration, ideal for antiques dealers or enthusiasts. The vintage structure is solid, stable, and well secured; the drawer and runners are sound, free from major structural chips or sagging. A superficial cosmetic restoration (spirits polish/wax) is necessary to revive the natural tones of the wood and correct the usual opacities and bloom of the varnish due to time.
