This piece is available
$10,028.00 Excluding VAT and delivery
A charming French, Parisienne Louis XVI-style marquetry dressing table from the Belle Époque, with integrated gilt bronze lighting and a refined neoclassical silhouette. Beautifully hand crafted, the piece combines geometric parquetry, an oval bevelled mirror, and a softly curved superstructure, creating a balanced, beauteous form that sits confidently within both traditional and contemporary interiors. The gilt bronze ormolu mounts form twin-branch candelabra, later electrified, provides both ambient light and a strong decorative element. The integrated lighting brings warmth and an ambient atmosphere, making the piece especially suited to dressing rooms, bedrooms, or more intimate interior settings. The surface has a warm, luminous tone, with the marquetry adding subtle movement and texture. A single drawer provides practical storage while maintaining a clean, composed line. A versatile and considered piece, offering both function and presence - designed to be lived with and admired.
