French 19th Century Applewood Coffee Table

Dimensions: 19 ⅞” H x 43 ½” W x 27 ¾” D

A French, 19th century Louis XVI-style oval form coffee table with the design features of bouillotte tables–the type made for playing the popular card game–given a very chic update in an ebonized finish that makes the brass accents pop. This example uses a white marble surface, inset and surrounded by a pierced brass gallery. The clean, oval shape is interrupted by slightly lobed protrusions where the four legs are joined to the apron, armored with reeded brass panels. Like the card table, this example features two storage drawers in the long sides of the apron and a hidden leaf in each end that slides out to offer a small, leather-top panel to set a drink or hand of cards. Slender, tapering legs end in brass sabot feet at the floor. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition as the marble shows etched areas of wear and scratches in the surface.

Dimensions: 16 ½” H x 39 ½” W x 20” D

Like an iconic “Bouillotte” type table, this vintage (circa 1930) French Louis XVI inspired rectangular coffee or “low table” has all the signature elements of earlier design periods. The inset white marble top is surrounded by a brass trim and pierced brass gallery, sloping down to be more accessible on the long edges. Fluted details accentuate the corners before transitioning into turned, tapering legs. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, ready to be placed in your interior.

A French Louis XVI style mahogany low table/gueridon in amber tone, dating to the mid-20th century, complemented by a white marble top surrounded by a pierced brass gallery. This timeless table design matches earlier bouillotte tables–made for playing cards–scaling the proportions down to coffee table size to fit a living room arrangement. There are two small drawers tucked in the apron, with two small leaves inset with olive-green textile that emerge to hold perhaps a drink or hand of playing cards. Note that one leaf has some loss to the textile liner, likely a burn, and the other is discolored. Fluted legs, a signature Louis XVI design, taper to the floor ending in brass sabot feet. Cleaned, tightened, and polished with a French paste wax, this vintage occasional table is ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition.

This elegant 1970s French travertine coffee table has a clean and modern look yet one that is warm and approachable for all of your entertaining needs. The smooth beige stone is one slab, showing the characteristic striations of minerals and variation of pale earth tones intrinsic to natural travertine. A soft bullnose edge rounds out the octagonal-shaped top, cut with a groove for definition and rests on a (recessed) square pedestal base that has been chamfered on the corners. Overall the design is sleek to match modern and contemporary tastes, refined for transitional interiors that honor noble materials. Please view the detailed images.

A vintage French (1970s) rattan coffee table, in that tropical modernism style of designers Audoux & Minet, synthesizing the casual elegance of coastal style with cosmopolitan sophistication.
