Description from the seller
Masterpiece of French elegance: Monumental Louis XV style living-room and family table – Fully in solid bronze with a majestic green marble top – 19th century
Description
With pride we present to you an object of royal allure and rare material splendor: a monumental French salon and family table in the rich, flowing form language of the Louis XV style (Rococo). This piece embodies the very best of 19th-century craftsmanship and is in impeccable, tip-top perfect condition. A jewel for the eye and a tangible piece of history that will outlive generations.
The Exceptional Bronze Frame:
Where most tables from this period were made of gilded wood, this exclusive specimen is wrought from a lead-weight, solid bronze masterpiece. The edges testify to fabulous casting work; around it is fully openwork with lavish and passionate Rococo ornamentation, including a centrally placed, deeply carved shell (rocaille) and graceful floral garlands. The bronze has a warm, deep gold gloss that reflects beautifully in the light. This magnificent ensemble rests on four monumental, S-curved Cabriole legs that flow into subtly detailed, romantic scrolling feet. The frame is steadfastly stable and designed to bear the heavy weight of the marble top with ease.
The Majestic Green Marble Top:
The crown of this piece is the breathtaking, solid marble top.
This extremely heavy top features a deep, mystical green-black base (the renowned Verde Antico) that comes alive with a spectacular play of natural, crystal-white and light-green veining.
The marble has been lovingly cared for over the years: the surface is mirror-smoothly polished, the edges are sharply cut, and it shows absolutely no cracks, fractures, chips, or restorations. Such thickness and pristine condition for this generous size is a rarity.
This piece is not a simple object of use, but a monumental eye-catcher. It brings the warmth, grandeur, and romance of a French château directly to a high-end classical, eclectic, or Hollywood Regency interior.
