Center Table Of Dutch Origin, First Half Of The 19th Century.

Very beautiful ceremonial center table of Dutch origin, first half of the 19th century, around 1850. We present a remarkable ceremonial table in marquetry and blackened pearwood, resting on four twisted columns ending in ball feet. A spacer marked with flowers and alternated by inlays of ivory and ebony. It opens in front by a drawer housed on the belt, as for it decorated on its four sides. The tray is decorated with flowers, acanthus leaves, foliage, crossettes, scrolls, as well as a fire pot. The perimeter of the top is decorated in ivory and ebony. The woods used are rosewood and ebony for the marquetry, and blackened pear for the columns. This piece of furniture is similar to the work of the great cabinetmaker Pierre Gole, (born around 1620 in Bergen, Holland, and died November 27, 1684 in Paris), who from 1662 provided King Louis XIV and the Grand Dauphin with cabinets in marquetry and many pieces of furniture.
