Description from the seller
Gaming table, precious wood and lupia, Louis XVI style, early 20th century – France
Style: Louis XVI
Materials: Precious woods, lupia wood, ebonized wood
Period: First quarter of the 20th century
Country of origin: France
Good condition given its age and use
Dimensions: 73 x 80 x 80 cm.
Exceptional and elegant French gaming table, Louis XVI style, first quarter of the 20th century. Made from beautiful precious woods, it rises on four stem-shaped legs in ebonized wood, with a palisander (rosewood) levant? top and a luxurious chess and checkers playing surface in contrast between lupia or root wood, light-toned, and palisander wood. Additionally, in two opposite corners it features a pair of detachable metal ashtrays. Its timeless style makes it perfect for any living room.
For some authors, Louis XVI is a style with a clearly feminine tendency, and it was even suggested it should be named “Marie Antoinette.” It contrasts with Louis XV in its simplicity; the rigor of geometric shapes and straight lines is once again appreciated, an inspiration drawn directly from classical architecture. It is characterized by lightness, harmony, and proportion, setting aside the heaviness and excess of the styles that preceded it. It stands as a more discreet and elegant style than its predecessor.
Shipping of the product will be paid by the buyer according to dimensions, weight, and destination. We will contact you to arrange it and agree on the budget.
