These one-of-a-kind tables showcase refined Neoclassical design elements, including intricately hand-carved lion’s paw feet, columnar side details, and delicate petite edge banding.

Meticulously restored in Los Angeles by Kipper using a traditional French polishing technique, the tables now boast a luxurious high-gloss finish that reveals the stunning depth and movement of the flamed European walnut veneer. This labor-intensive restoration honors the original craftsmanship while breathing new life into these heirloom-quality pieces.

The interior construction features solid European pine, further affirming their old-world origins. Each table is marked on the underside with hand-painted inventory numbers, indicating they were once part of a grand French estate collection—a rare surviving matched pair with authentic provenance.

Perfect as library tables, side tables, or even dramatic entryway pieces, these are museum-quality furnishings that bring timeless elegance to any refined interior.
