The central shaft with an inverted torso between the upper and lower parts, rests on a tray (slightly warped) decorated with blackened wood molding framing a flower marquetry and bordered with an alternation of ebony and bone checkerboard.
We find on the tray this alternation which frames a very beautiful marquetry of flowers and foliage.
Holland, 19th century.
Very good condition.
Tray diameter: 45.5 cm.
Base diameter: 49 cm.
