The circular top is finely moulded and rests above an elegant frieze adorned with applied swags and pendant drops, giving the table a light, sculptural quality The top is supported on four tapering, turned legs, joined by a sophisticated cross-stretcher arrangement centred on a turned urn-form finial, all richly gilded
The legs terminate in gently curved feet, enhancing the tables refined proportions
The quality of the turning, symmetry, and ornament suggest a late 19th to early 20th century decorative piece, inspired by 18th-century French models Ideal as a centre table, lamp table, or occasional table, this piece would sit comfortably in both classical and contemporary interiors, particularly within a salon, hall, or bedroom setting where its gilded surface and elegant detailing can be appreciated
Bought from a dealer on Marche Biron at Paris antiques markets
