About the Item

This significant table is rectangular-shaped with a serpentine front and cabriole legs terminating in gilt bronze sabots. A gilt bronze rim frames the top, which is inlaid with a marquetry chinoiserie scene depicting pavilions, bridges, figures, and foliage against a rosewood ground. The front comprises three drawers, each outlined with boxwood stringing and inlaid with floral and foliate marquetry panels, incorporating various light and dark woods to create contrast. The sides display further marquetry panels featuring pagodas, palm-like trees, and birds in flight. The lower tier is fitted with an additional shaped shelf, also inlaid with chinoiserie marquetry scenes of pavilions, gondola-style boats, and landscape elements, framed by a narrow border. This side table is French in origin and executed in the Louis XVI style, incorporating chinoiserie motifs popular in 18th and 19th-century decorative arts. The marquetry work is composed of multiple wood species to create tonal variation, with rosewood forming the primary ground. The gilt bronze mounts include the rim surrounding the top and sabots at the feet, which are cast with foliate ornament. The table’s overall form and decoration are consistent with the work of Parisian ébénistes known for fine marquetry and mounted furniture. The Louis XVI style is characterized by neoclassical lines and refined ornament, often integrating exotic motifs such as those seen here in the chinoiserie decoration. Chinoiserie, a European interpretation of East Asian decorative themes, appears in the table’s marquetry through depictions of pagodas, stylized landscapes, and figures in Eastern dress, rendered with precision in contrasting veneers. The combination of these motifs with traditional French form and fine gilt bronze mounts reflects the period’s interest in blending European craftsmanship with exotic decorative influences.
