A Magnificent French Louis XV Extending Dining Table-Walnut with Ebony Stringing & Giltwood Accents

France, Late 19th Century

This magnificent French Louis XV extending dining table, dating to the late 19th century, showcases exceptional craftsmanship, refined proportions, and timeless elegance. The elongated oval top is beautifully crafted from rich, honey-toned walnut, its surface enhanced by a lustrous hand-polished finish that highlights the natural grain and figuring of the wood. A fine inlaid ebony stringing runs around the perimeter, subtly framing the tabletop and lending visual depth and sophistication.

Designed for versatility, the table includes five removable leaves, seamlessly transforming it from an intimate dining setting into a grand banquet configuration. It rests upon six gracefully contoured cabriole legs, each adorned with giltwood teardrop cartouches at the knees — a distinctive Louis XV-inspired detail. The legs terminate in finely carved hoof feet, an elegant nod to Rococo styling, balancing ornamentation with restraint.

The table exhibits superb joinery, warm coloration, and a soft, naturally aged patina, embodying the hallmarks of 19th-century French craftsmanship. It blends refined decorative elements with practical adaptability, making it equally suited for a formal dining room, a luxury interior, or an elevated contemporary setting.

A Louis XVI Marquetry Guéridon with Ormolu Mounts

This refined Louis XVI guéridon exemplifies the artistry and elegance of late 18th-century French design. The circular top is richly decorated with an intricate parquetry marquetry, arranged in a finely executed diamond trellis pattern, bordered by a contrasting veneer band that subtly frames the composition. Its surface reflects a high level of craftsmanship, offering both visual rhythm and warmth through the interplay of precious woods.

Encircling the top, a delicate gilt-bronze (ormolu) molding provides a touch of restrained opulence while also serving as a protective rim. The frieze continues the trellis motif and is punctuated with finely cast gilt-bronze mounts of scrolling acanthus, foliage, and rosettes, each mount masterfully detailed to highlight the neoclassical ornament vocabulary associated with the reign of Louis XVI.

The table is supported by four elegantly tapered, fluted legs, a hallmark of the neoclassical aesthetic, terminating in gilt-bronze capitals and sabots. This balance of clean geometry with luxurious ormolu detailing reflects the refinement sought after by the French aristocracy and haute bourgeoisie of the late 18th century, and which has remained timeless in sophisticated interiors ever since.

Versatile in function and scale, this guéridon serves beautifully as an occasional, side, or center table, lending a sense of luxury without overwhelming its surroundings. Its harmonious proportions, exquisite marquetry, and finely chased mounts make it an outstanding example of Louis XVI style furniture, appealing to those who value both decorative richness and classical restraint.

An Exquisite Neoclassical Marquetry Commode in the form of Giuseppe Maggiolini, Northern Italy, 18th Century

An elegant and finely executed neoclassical commode in the form of Giuseppe Maggiolini, the celebrated Milanese ébéniste of the late 18th century. Crafted in richly figured walnut, the commode features three drawers with exceptional marquetry inlay in boxwood and other fruitwoods.

The top drawer is framed with a delicate band of alternating stylized floral rosettes, while the lower drawers showcase classical floral and foliate inlays, culminating in a central radiating fan medallion — a motif closely associated with Maggiolini’s workshop. The commode is raised on tapered legs with linear inlay, further emphasizing the clean architectural lines characteristic of the neoclassical style.

Retaining its original brass escutcheons and keyplates, the piece displays a warm, even patina and outstanding craftsmanship throughout. While unsigned, its refined form and decorative program strongly evoke the influence of Maggiolini’s atelier and the broader Lombard cabinetmaking tradition.
