Coffee table - Satinwood, Mahogany

Louis XV-style support table, with marquetry. French, or of French influence, from the early 20th century, inspired by Louis XV, in mahogany and other noble woods, with a top veneered in pau santo, presenting a symmetric herringbone composition and rich marquetry decoration. Rectangular-shaped top with rounded corners and a sinuous 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 features pau santo veneer laid out in a symmetric composition, highlighting the natural grain and the figure of the wood. The waist has a wavy cut and vegetal character decoration, following the movement of the top. It rests on four cabriole legs, with sinuous profiles characteristic of the Louis XV language, enhanced 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 French furniture in the Louis XV tradition with a characteristic execution of the early 20th-century historicist revival, standing out for the quality of the veneer, the marquetry decoration, and the gilded metal ornamentation. Dimensions: 50 x 69 x 43 cm.
