A timeless example of French Louis XVI design, this bouillotte table features every hallmark detail collectors love: a circular marble top, a pierced brass gallery, tapered fluted legs, and slide-out leather writing surfaces. Originally created in the 18th century for the French card game “bouillotte,” these tables became beloved for their versatility and elegance — serving as side tables, writing tables, and intimate game tables.

This particular piece is crafted in warm mahogany with refined proportions and crisp neoclassical lines. The white marble top is beautifully veined and surrounded by a finely pierced brass gallery, giving it both function and architectural charm.

Below the apron, you’ll find two discreet drawers along with two slide-out leather surfaces — each panel inset with an embossed gilt border in a rich, warm tone. This combination of hidden storage and multifunctional surfaces makes the bouillotte table one of the most cleverly designed pieces in French furniture history.
