The elongated oval form features a mirrored plateau from later addition, framed in finely cast silvered bronze with an open pierced gallery of delicate balusters and beaded trim. Decorative swag motifs mounted over tapered fluted feet further enhance the neoclassical silhouette with understated sophistication.
Originally designed as a centerpiece to protect fine table linens while displaying candelabra, crystal, or serving pieces, this decorative plateau now serves beautifully as a vanity tray, centerpiece, or decorative accent. The mirrored surface reflects light elegantly and contrasts beautifully with the softly aged silvered finish. The underside retains its original wood backing and hardware.
The surtout is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. A timeless decorative object with refined proportions and classic French elegance.
