An elegant oval centre table, Southern Italy, late 18th century, fully reflecting the refined Luigi XVI style. The piece, with its understated yet sophisticated aesthetic, is veneered with violetwood and embellished with fine geometric inlays of contrasting light and dark woods. The structure features fluted and tapered legs joined at the base by a shaped sliding shelf. The inset top is finished with green marble, a typical element of high-quality furnishings of the period. The drawer, adorned with a gilt bronze escutcheon and original floral knobs, showcases the skill of master cabinetmakers of the era.
