About the Item

Refined dining set consisting of a shaped table and four matching chairs, executed in the Boulle style and dating from the second half of the 19th century. Made of ebonized wood, the group is distinguished by the very high quality of the brass inlay on a tortoiseshell (or tortoiseshell-like) background, executed with extreme precision in elaborate phytomorphic scrollwork and arabesque motifs, in the tradition of André-Charles Boulle's cabinetmaking. The table top has a mixtilinear profile, finely finished along the entire edge with a rich chiseled gilt bronze frame. The sides and legs are embellished with inlaid brass reserves and spectacular gilded bronze applications: caryatids, scrolls, and masks, carved with extraordinary relief and decorative richness. The four matching chairs echo the same ornamental theme: the black wooden frame is embellished with brass threading, decorative metal inserts, and gold trim. The shaped backs are embellished at the top with a gilded bronze crown depicting a ribbon with floral motifs. The seats are upholstered in purple-red velvet, which contrasts elegantly with the ebonized frame. Style: Boulle / Napoleon III Materials: ebonized wood, inlaid brass, gilded bronze, velvet Composition: 1 shaped table + 4 matching chairs ✅ Reasons to buy it: Craftsmanship excellence: Inlaid brass workmanship of the highest standard, faithful to the original techniques of Master Boulle. Royal decoration: Finely chiseled golden bronzes make each piece a work of art in itself. Design uniqueness: The table's wavy profile and refined decorations create a dramatic visual impact. Functional and scenic: Ideal for a dining room or reception hall, but also as a museum or collector's piece. Complete combination: Already coordinated set, rare to find in such well-preserved condition.
