Louis XIII Period 1630s Carved Walnut Barley Twist Table with Black Painted Top
About the Item
Lose yourself in the grandeur of French history with this exquisite Louis XIII period writing table, crafted in walnut circa 1630. This rare piece features a striking black painted top framed by a molded walnut border, creating a rich contrast with the warm tones of the base.
The table is supported by four boldly carved barley twist legs, a hallmark of the Louis XIII style, joined by a sculptural X-form stretcher with dramatic curves and a central turned finial for added decorative impact. Two lateral drawers offer discreet storage while preserving the table’s elegant symmetry. With its finely aged patina and masterful joinery, this table exemplifies the opulence and craftsmanship of early 17th-century French furniture.
Perfect as a statement writing desk, console, or center table, it brings noble charm and architectural beauty to any refined interior. A collector’s piece with deep historical resonance and timeless appeal, it remains both functional and highly decorative.
