French Louis XV Style Black Japanned Lacquer Table with Dore Bronze Mounts and Marble Top

Topped with a freeform marble top in white with veining, this table has a subtle elegance. The hand-painted japanned panels around the apron depict traditional landscapes and architectural elements making this piece truly unique. Each panel is framed by gilt bronze with intricate scrollwork and sits on either side of a bronze cartouche. Bronze scrollwork and foliates are mounted on legs that gently curve down to bronze acanthus and clawed feet. Legs are joined in the center by an elegant stretcher adorned with gilt bronze and meeting in the middle at an elegant floral bronze finial. Such a unique piece of artistry blending the Louis XV and Chinoiserie styles of this quality is a rare find.
