Made entirely of cherry wood, the tables feature a geometrically patterned veneered top with a refined diamond and lozenge design, enriched with thin maple fillets. They display high quality craftsmanship and a sober taste, typical of the transition between Neoclassicism and the Empire period. The structure is slender and balanced, with thin, tapered legs clearly inspired by Louis XVI. The tables are folding: the top opens and folds down, doubling the surface area, a feature that makes them particularly versatile as game tables or coffee tables. The hardware is original, well preserved and in perfect working order. The condition is excellent: the wood is sound, the surfaces well-patinated, and ready to be placed in a room without the need for intervention.
