AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Napoleon III Folding Side Table - 19th Century:

Elegant folding occasional table from the Napoléon III era (19th century), featuring a rectangular top whose center bears a magnificent floral marquetry. This fresco is made of inlays of light wood and mahogany on a blackened wood background, executed with great finesse.

The black varnished wooden base rests on two pairs of turned and molded legs, crossed in X, joined by a crossbar. This retractable system allows the table to fold with ease, offering practical modularity that does not detract from its decorative refinement.

A true decorative chameleon, it will integrate with elegance whether in a contemporary interior or in a more classical setting.

Dimensions: Top 74 x 48 x 2 cm
Leg height: 79 to 80 cm
Weight: approximately 5.2 kg.

This table is sold in its original, authentic condition: the marquetry shows some losses and lifts (veneering detached in places), the varnish is worn in spots, and the sliding mechanism of the feet needs a light oiling to smooth its movement.

Beyond its small signs of age, which attest to its history, this table remains perfectly functional. A light restoration will restore its full brilliance.
