Italian Marble Inlaid Specimen Center Table, 20th Century

This elegant and beautifully carved wooden center table from France incorporates design elements from two of the most popular French periods.

A beautiful example of Black Forest style carvings, this hunt table is highlighted by a base adorned with four scrolled leaf legs, each topped by a different animal: boar, dog, stag, and fox (as seen in the main photo, clockwise starting at the lower left). The table was hand-carved from oak in France, circa 1890, with an oval top with rich color and graining.
