The expansive top features a sophisticated geometric parquetry pattern in the manner of classic Versailles parquet, with diamond and cross motifs that catch the light and create a sense of movement. The rich, dark walnut patina has been achieved through layers of hand-distressing, evoking centuries of history in a French chateau.

Supported by eight formidable bulbous baluster legs, each one masterfully hand-carved with acanthus leaf detailing, the table rests on a continuous octagonal stretcher base that provides both architectural integrity and visual weight. The scale is palatial – designed for a great room, estate library, or luxury lodge where only the exceptional will do. See less
