"Beautiful Violin Table In Boulle Tortoiseshell Marquetry And Brass From The Napoleon III Period Napoleon 3"
DESCRIPTION / Very beautiful violin-shaped center table, in brass and tortoiseshell boulle marquetry. The tortoiseshell here is of very good quality, the marquetry is patterned with foliage, scrolls and interlacing, on the top, the belt and the feet. This marquetry is remarkable because it integrates many details such as the 4 small cherubs in the center of the table on a tortoiseshell reserve, as well as many other cherubs and characters in the corners in particular.
