This refined French Louis XV style walnut table, likely from the 19th or early 20th century, showcases the graceful curves and ornate craftsmanship characteristic of the Rococo tradition. Professionally handled by Camard France, a renowned specialist in antique furniture transport, this piece reflects both aesthetic beauty and careful preservation.
Design & Period:
Rooted in the 18th-century Louis XV style, the table embraces a rococo-inspired sensibility with flowing lines, delicate carvings, and a sense of lightness. While not an original 18th-century piece, its craftsmanship and materials suggest a high-quality reproduction from the mid-to-late 1800s or early 1900s.
Materials & Craftsmanship:
Made from solid walnut, a favored wood for its richness and fine carving potential
The tabletop features intricate parquetry, arranged in a geometric pattern that enhances the natural grain of the wood—likely walnut or walnut burl veneer
A subtle molded border frames the top, adding elegance without overpowering the decorative surface
Carvings & Structure:
The apron is hand-carved with classic Louis XV motifs, including scrolling foliate forms and stylized shells
Cabriole legs with flowing, outward curves taper to escargot (snail-shell) feet or gently upturned foliate tips
Upper leg joints may feature carved acanthus leaves for added detail
A shaped stretcher connects the legs, offering both stability and additional ornamentation, often centered with a carved medallion or shell
Provenance & Handling:
This piece was transported and handled by Camard, a respected, family-run business in Saint-Ouen, France, known for its expert care of antiques and artworks. Their involvement underscores the table's value and ensures it has been preserved with the highest level of professionalism.
