Designed in the classic tilt-top form, the oval top pivots vertically for ease of storage and display, a practical feature traditionally associated with tasting and salon tables. The tabletop is decorated with finely executed radial walnut parquetry, centered by a subtle compass-star inlay, and framed by a discreet banded border that highlights the quality of craftsmanship and the warm tonal variation of the wood.
The table rests on a sculptural trestle base with gently splayed feet joined by a horizontal stretcher, while a curved central support secures the top in both open and tilted positions. Elegant yet functional, this antique French table is ideal for wine tastings, intimate entertaining, or as a distinctive accent table in a dining room, wine cellar, or library. The piece is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use and retains a warm, time softened walnut patina throughout.
