Three nesting tables in Louis XVI style, dating to ca. 1910–1920, made in France from wood, in good used condition with minor signs of age and a refined architectural presence.
Description from the seller
Three nest of tables that carry clearly that vocabulary Louis XVI reinterpreted by the 20th-century cabinetmaking, where artisanal precision and the search for proportion remain essential. The wood, warm and well worked, shows a serene finish that lets the hand of the cabinetmaker be seen: polished surfaces, softly defined edges and a clear filet that runs along the perimeter of each top as a nod to the neoclassical marquetry of the eighteenth century.
The legs, straight and slightly fluted, bring that elegant verticality so characteristic of the style, avoiding any Baroque excess and betting on restrained ornamentation. The set works as an architectural sequence: three pieces that slide under one another naturally, always maintaining visual harmony even when gathered.
At the bottom appears the original cabinetmaker’s numbering, a workshop mark that adds authenticity and confirms careful manufacture for the period. That detail, discreet but meaningful, turns the set into a testimony of craft: not only functional tables, but objects with identity and artisanal traceability.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
