Description from the seller
For sale is an exquisite one-off piece for lovers of true craftsmanship: an antique Rococo side table that has been brought back to life through days of work.
The Highlight – The Surface:
The tabletop, made of rare root veneer, was refined in the traditional “Petersburger Art.” That means:
Over 10 layers of pure shellac were applied by hand.
The result is an unparalleled depth and a mirror-like gloss that only this historical technique can produce. The veneer appears almost three-dimensional.
The Contrast:
To present the magnificent wood of the top in a modern way, the frame and the curved legs were ebonized (stained deep black) and then hand-polished with high-quality antique wax. This satin-matte contrast to the high-gloss top makes the table a true eye-catcher in any modern or classical setting.
Condition & Details:
Professionally refurbished.
Stable and ready for use.
Dimensions: Height 75 cm, Width 56 cm, Depth 40 cm
Viewing & Delivery:
Pickup in Halle/Saale. Delivery is possible by arrangement and for an additional fee.
