Description
LOUIS XV CHERRYWOOD WRITING TABLE
Southern France, circa mid-18th century
28" H x 24 3/4" D x 33" W
A table that looks like it is ready to dance out of the room, this fabulous table from the reign of Louis XV features the loose adherence to the form while retaining a lively naivete in the overall form. The body of the table is defined by its undulating cupid's bow curvature, a shape matched in the conforming top. This is a particularly complex achievement, in that the drawer is subtly bombay vertically while having the oxbow form horizontally and at the same time the apron beneath the drawer boasts a subtle outward projection. The legs are halfway between cabriole and klismo, almost indecisive and in motion, the dramatized high knee curving sharply inward while simultaneously tapering before the ankle moves back out in a tight scrolling toe.
The dense cherrywood has developed a lovely overall patina, this silky to the touch and issuing an ever-so-gentle red hue in the mellowed boards.
Condition: Two feet are early spliced replacements; separation between the two boards of the top; old inactive pest damage in several areas throughout; no key, locks untested; minor scuffs and abrasions to the early finish; sturdy and stable, ready to place.
