A very fine and rare Charles X period dressing table circa 1830, in rose- wood with fine incrustations of lemonwood. The Charles X period represents the height of the art of marquetry in European Furniture, especially in French history. Intricate palmettes and scrolling foliage motifs are inlaid on all sides of the table, the drawer facade, and the console legs which support a white Carrara marble top. This piece rests on four rollers and the drawer reveals several compartments and a leather topped writing surface. The style is named after King Charles X who reigned from 1824-1830, and is remembered as one of the most exquisite styles from the pre-industrial era.
