Napoleon III Pedestal Table with Marquetry and Painted Earthenware Basin, France

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A captivating Napoleon III period pedestal table from 19th-century France, showcasing the elegance and artistry characteristic of the Second Empire. The table features a richly black lacquered finish complemented by finely cast gilt bronze mounts in the form of acanthus leaves, reflecting exquisite neoclassical influence. Its round top is bordered by a pierced brass gallery and a refined marquetry inlay that frames a hand-painted earthenware basin at the center. The basin depicts a delicate pastoral scene — a small bird poised on a flowering branch — rendered with exceptional detail and soft coloration. The turned central pedestal terminates in a sculpted tripod base, each foot gracefully ornamented, balancing decorative grandeur with structural poise. This table embodies the refined craftsmanship and romantic sensibility of the Napoleon III era, making it both a functional accent and a collector’s statement piece suited for elegant interiors or curated decorative settings.
