French 18th century Louis XVI period Tulipwood, Fruitwood and Ormolu side table

About the Item

A high quality and finely detailed French 18th century Louis XVI period Ormolu, Tulipwood, Fruitwood, and Amaranth wood side/writing table, stamped Charles Topino, Circa 1760. This absolutely stunning table is raised on four square tapered slender legs lightly incised with leaf-tips and supported on cap feet. The front panel contains three sans traverse rectangular drawers with the top drawer having a writing surface. All three drawers have centrally placed keyhole escutcheons. These drawers are decorated with exquisite marquetry inlays displaying the countryside with rolling hills amongst smaller scaled brick homes. The two panels on either side are inlaid with stunning mother of pearl studded urns. The rectangular top is decorated with beautiful marquetry showcasing peasants atop donkeys in a working landscape environment. The tremendous attention to detail throughout this piece is what makes this gorgeous table an excellent conversation starter. Provenance: From the private New York collection of Mr. John D. Rockefeller. Charles Topino (circa 1735–1803) was a renowned furniture maker of the late 18th century, celebrated for his expertise in crafting light furniture, commodes, and secrétaires. Specializing in exquisite marquetry, Topino's pieces featured intricate still-life compositions inspired by Coromandel lacquer screens, as well as floral motifs set against pale wood backgrounds. His craftsmanship earned him widespread acclaim, with collectors eagerly seeking out his high-quality creations.

  • 18th Century French Louis XVI Kidney Salon Table in the Manner of Topino
    By Charles Topino
    Located in Berlin, DE
    18th Century French Louis XV/Transition Kidney Salon Table or Table à Rognon Excellent and rare small side or salon table, a so-called "table à rognon": the kidney shaped table with elaborate mirrored parquetry standing on four slender and tapering cabriole legs with gilt- bronze sabots. A small trompe l'oeil sliding front door, which follows the concave outline of the table front, discloses the table interior with two small storage compartments. One side of the table fitted with two small, curved drawers swinging out sideways. The table top a white and grey marble plate, partially surrounded by a pierced brass gallery. A small table by Charles Topino (ca. 1742-1803, master 1773) was offered in the international art market, which had the identical shape with the characteristic drawers swinging out to the side: Charles Topino worked for a number of years as an independent craftsman before he was received as a maître in 1773. From 1757 Charles Topino worked in the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine gaining great renown as a marqueteur producing elaborate marquetry featuring floral garlands and bouquets as well as still-lifes showing vases, bottles, teapots and other artefacts. Although Topino supplied distinguished clients from the French aristocracy, his main customers were the marchand-merciers and marchand-ébénistes, notably Héricourt, Dautriche, Migeon, Denizot, Moreau, Delorme, Tuart, Joubert and Boudin. In 1782 Topino was elected député of his guild. Topino tended to specialize in making light furniture such as small tables, chiffonnières and bonheurs-du-jour although he is also credited with outstanding commodes and secrétaires in both the Transitional and full Louis XVI styles. Pieces of his oeuvre can be found at the Rothschild Collection...
