About the Item

A mid-19th century French tilt top end table in rosewood, the round top inlaid with a lush marquetry garland of open roses and flowering vines around a central rose bouquet. Full blooms are spaced around the wreath, linked by fine tendrils and leafy sprays. The work shows the skill of an accomplished marqueteur. The rosewood has a deep, warm color with a rich patina, and the golden marquetry glows against it. The top is hinged on a block so it can be tilted upright. When not in use, the table could stand flat against the wall with its inlaid rose garland on display like a painting. A turned baluster column with ring details rises from a tripod base of three scrolled legs, and a turned drop finial finishes it underneath. The rose was one of the most beloved motifs of 19th century French marquetry, a symbol of beauty and romance that cabinetmakers carried from grand salons to intimate sitting rooms. In this period, French furniture makers revived and reinterpreted the decorative arts of earlier centuries, and small tables like this one were where they showed off their finest inlay. A companion table of identical size with a garland of trailing leaves is available separately. Circa 1860s Measures 29H x 24 in diameter (41H when tilted up) Available at Inessa Stewart's Antiques, Dallas Design District, Dallas, Texas.
