A FRENCH LOUIS XV STYLE CARVED GILT WOOD & GESSO FIGURAL SIDE TABLE
-
Description
The description paints a vivid picture of an intricately crafted 19th-century French side table in the Louis XV style. The table's ornate design is a hallmark of this period, showcasing detailed craftsmanship and rich embellishments.
The table's gilt wood and gesso construction, typical of the era, would have involved skilled artisans meticulously carving and gilding the wood to achieve a luxurious finish. The presence of carved putti figures on each leg suggests a decorative motif popular during the Louis XV period, adding a touch of whimsy and elegance.
The inclusion of garlands and floral motifs around the table further emphasizes the ornate nature of the piece, with carved details depicting natural elements like flowers and female masks, reflecting the opulent and decorative aesthetics of the period.
The table's stretcher, adorned with a flower bouquet, and legs featuring paw feet are indicative of the attention to detail and sophistication in the design, contributing to the overall elegance of the piece. Such tables were often focal points in living spaces, showcasing not only functionality but also serving as exquisite decorative elements that defined the grandeur of the Louis XV style.
