Extendable oval table in Restoration style, walnut veneer, gilded bronze.

Magnificent extendable oval table in Restoration style, dating from the first third of the 19th century, radiating a sober and refined neoclassical presence. Its two-part removable top reveals a superb veneer of walnut or elm burl, with a moiré center surrounded by a black line, framed by a wide border with swirling patterns of great figurative quality. The curved apron is enhanced with gilded bronze plates featuring decorations of rosettes and acanthus leaves, a vocabulary dear to the Empire-Restoration spirit. The four conical legs, dressed in burl, rest on turned drum bases and rise from molded brass hooves—a detail of discreet elegance. The top shows micro scratches, micro-cracks, and slight areas of oxidation, wear consistent with the age and history of the piece, without structural alteration. It is possible to have 2 extensions of 55 cm made upon request. Dimensions: - Height: 73 cm - Length: 128 cm - Width: 106 cm A character piece, ready to bring a touch of history to an elegant dining room or to an interior blending old and contemporary styles.
