A Magnificent Late 18th Century French Louis XV Extending Dining Table-Walnut with Ebony Stringing & Giltwood Accents

This magnificent French Louis XV extending dining table, dating to the late 18th 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. The table includes five removable leaves and 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.
