AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Napoléon III Folding Side Table - 19th Century:
Elegant folding occasional table from the Napoléon III era (19th century), featuring a rectangular top whose center displays a magnificent floral marquetry. This panel is made with inlays of light woods and mahogany on a blackened wood background, executed with great finesse.
The black-polished wooden pedestal rests on two pairs of turned and moulded legs, crossed in a lattice (X) and connected by a tying rail. This retractable system allows the table to fold with ease, offering practical modularity that does not diminish its decorative refinement.
A true decorative chameleon, it will integrate with elegance both in a contemporary interior and within a more classical setting.
Dimensions: Top 74 x 48 x 2 cm
Height of legs: 79 to 80 cm
Weight: about 5.2 kg.
This table is sold as-is, in its authentic original condition: the marquetry shows some losses and lifts (veneer peeling in places), the varnish is worn in places and the sliding mechanism of the legs would benefit from a light oiling to smooth its movement.
Beyond its small signs of time, which testify to its history, this table remains perfectly functional. A light restoration would be sufficient to restore its full radiance.
