Coffee table - Satinwood, Mahogany

Louis XV side table with marquetry. French, or of French influence, from the early 20th century, inspired by Louis XV, in mahogany and other noble woods, with the top veneered in pau santo, featuring a symmetrical spine-like composition and rich marquetry decoration. The rectangular top has cut corners and a wavy outline, decorated by an inlaid surround and a central composition of vegetal and stylized floral motifs, executed in woods of contrasting tones, with the inlays in light wood, possibly ebony. The surface of the top presents pau santo veneer laid out in a symmetrical composition, highlighting the natural grain and figure of the wood. The frieze features a wavy cut and vegetal-inspired decoration, following the movement of the top. It rests on four cabriole legs, with a sinuous profile characteristic of the Louis XV language, enriched by ornamental applications in gilded metal, Rocaille-inspired, arranged along the legs and near the feet. The piece combines the elegant and dynamic design of traditional French furniture in the Louis XV style with a characteristic execution of the historicist revival at the beginning of the 20th century, standing out for the quality of the veneer, the marquetry decoration, and the gilded metal applications. Dimensions: 50 x 69 x 43 cm.
