Made in the Netherlands circa 1780, the silver table is made of walnut and rosewood with profuse marquetry inlays in satinwood, kingwood and harewood, in floral bouquets.

This table is of the absolute highest quality and exceptionally rare, especially, in this condition.

The central medallion of inlay is a jardiniere on plinth with flowers. The top appears to be made of rosewood. The central medallion is surrounded by flowing floral patterns and lines.

The top is edged with a raised walnut gallery to prevent the silver from sliding off.

The base is made of walnut and is decorated with marquetry floral inlays on all sides including the legs.

The central drawer is likewise embellished with floral marquetry and it’s original period brass handle. The secondary wood on the interior of the drawers appears to be a dark maple.

The four legs end in bun feet.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST TABLES OF IT’S TYPE THAT WE HAVE SEEN !
Gorgeous natural patina and superb condition for it’s age. Some minor cracks and losses to the veneered edges and a small piece if inlay missing to the front right knee but not serious enough to devalue the piece in any way. less
