An Exceptional French Empire Period Mahogany Pedestal / Centre Table, Circa 1815

About the Item

The original fossilized black marble circular top over a conforming frieze of richly figured crotch mahogany, mounted upon a stunning flame-mahogany tri-corner base accented with three individual hand carved & applied swan-shaped elements, raised overall on three columnar supports on compressed pad feet. The top having a later repaired separation which remains very stable. (Note: In order to better illustrate the superior figuring of the mahogany of this fine table, the lighting source has rendered a somewhat warmer hue in the primary image, as opposed to the darker tone observed in the subsequent images). IMPORTANT NOTE: For all interested U.S. & Overseas clients, we are currently in the process of establishing a means to expedite the process of obtaining the necessary CITES export permit required to ship items constructed of mahogany - whether in part or in whole, to both United States & overseas clients. That being said, at this point it may take upwards of several weeks or possibly months to obtain the necessary CITES Export permit.

    By Charles Percier

The frames also featuring brass strung stiles, front seat rails & sabre-leg front supports. All are in exceptionally sound condition due to the classical construction method of using oak as the secondary wood for added strength & durability.
