French Empire Center Table w/ Egyptian Revival influence

Elegant walnut center table from France, circa 1815, veneered in finely figured walnut and raised on four tapering legs adorned with gilt-bronze caryatid mounts terminating in lion's paw feet. The sweeping concave stretcher and restrained classical ornament exemplify the refined aesthetic of the French Empire period, inspired by antiquity and Napoleon's Egyptian campaign.

The French Empire / early Restoration fauteuil, circa 1815–1830, is also part of our Collection. It comes as a pair with a matching bench. The upholstery is clearly much later and brings a modern touch to the ensemble.
