An exceptionally sized example of the iconic mahogany round table from the French restoration period. The white Carrara marble corresponds to the special nature of this table compared to the smaller, typical versions one encounters with less luxurious Belgian grey Sainte-Anne marble tops.

One recognizes the familiar sculpted tripod of lions claws below a gadrooned baluster. The tripod here, though, is parallel to the ground and it rests on a plinthe; a design necessary to accommodate the weight of this extraordinarily sized table. The model is frequently encountered among period furniture of the first third of the 19th century, for good reason, because it is appealing and versatile. This variant, built to these dimensions, however, is entirely rare.
