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 a top veneered in pau santo, presenting a symmetrical spine-like composition and rich marquetry decoration. Top rectangular in shape with cut corners and a sinuous outline, decorated by an inlaid surround and a central composition of vegetalist and stylized floral motifs, executed in woods of contrasting tones, with the inlays in light wood, possibly boxwood. The surface of the top features pau santo veneer arranged in a symmetrical composition, highlighting the natural grain and 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, enriched by ornamental applications in gilded metal, Rocaille-inspired, placed 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 historicist revivalism from the early 20th century, standing out for the quality of the veneer, the marquetry decoration, and the gilded metal ornaments. Dimensions: 50 x 69 x 43 cm.
