About the Item

A most impressive and high quality French 19th century Napoleon III Period Tortoiseshell, Brass, ebonized Fruitwood and Ormolu Boulle center table. This stunning center table is raised on four richly decorated scrolled legs displaying egg and dart Ormolu plinths below a scrolled Ormolu acanthus leaf. Each most striking Tortoiseshell veneered leg displays foliate and scrolled Brass inlaid motifs below pierced and foliate Ormolu mounts with a smooth central cabochon. Flanking each leg, and at the base of the turned ebonized Fruitwood central support, are most decorative masculine pierced masks of Bacchus with grape vines in his hair. The remarkably designed apron displays intricately detailed large scale Brass inlays on a Tortoiseshell background, with Greek Key motifs flanking Bone inlaid palmettes. The circular top showcases a central inlaid cherub with Mother of Pearl wings and a Bone body amidst birds while carrying foliate branches. Surrounding the central reserve are additional Bone inlaid cherubs and birds throughout foliate Brass inlaid scrolls and pierced designs. The Boulle inlays are surrounded by an outer Rosewood border and Ormolu intertwined bead and oval gallery.
