Details & History:

A refined example of French Empire Revival elegance, this ebonized accent table exudes sophistication through its contrast of dark wood and luminous gilt bronze. The tripod base features gently curving legs adorned with floral ormolu mounts, joined by a lower circular stretcher crowned with a finial in the form of a pinecone — a neoclassical symbol of prosperity and enlightenment.

Delicate brass chains drape between each leg, softening the architectural form with an air of romantic ornamentation. The tabletop retains its original rich black finish with a subtle sheen that enhances the gilded detailing along the edge.

Pieces such as this were designed for use in refined 19th-century salons, often placed between fauteuils or beneath a vase of fresh flowers. Today, its compact form and striking silhouette make it an ideal statement table beside a reading chair, in an entryway, or layered within a vignette of antique décor.

Condition: Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear to the surface, including light craquelure and faint marks to the tabletop. Ormolu mounts and chain details remain intact and beautifully patinated.
