Rich in sculptural depth and architectural symmetry, this table embodies the refined grandeur associated with late 18th-century French court furniture.

The substantial rectangular marble top displays dramatic natural veining, lending visual movement and elegance to the piece while providing a luxurious and durable surface. Resting above the carved frieze, the marble enhances the table’s stately proportions and makes it equally suited for use as a grand console, buffet table, or statement serving piece in formal interiors.

The base is a triumph of classical ornamentation, centered by a finely modeled figural mask, framed by a laurel wreath motif—symbols of victory and nobility in ancient Roman and Greek iconography, hallmarks of the Louis XVI style. Bronze mounts accent the apron and structural transitions, adding refined contrast and elevating the craftsmanship. The robust legs are richly carved with classical motifs and terminate in a curved stretcher anchored by a central urn-form support adorned with floral garlands, providing both structural integrity and sculptural beauty.

Finished in a warm gilt tone, the base captures and reflects light, emphasizing the depth of carving and lending an air of palatial elegance. The table’s generous scale makes it ideal for anchoring an entry hall, dining room, salon, or gallery space, where it can function as both a decorative focal point and a practical surface.
