About the Item

A captivating 19th-century French Vernis Martin occasional table featuring a rare heart-shaped top, beautifully hand-painted with a romantic pastoral scene of a courting couple. The body is adorned with delicate floral motifs in the Rococo style, highlighted by elegant ormolu mounts and gracefully curved cabriole legs. The lacquered finish and warm patina are consistent with Vernis Martin techniques, developed to imitate Asian lacquerwork with European romantic flair. This petite yet striking piece functions as a side or accent table, reflecting the refined tastes of Belle Époque interiors. Shows expected age-related craquelure and minor wear, adding charm and authenticity.
