Table 1838 - 1848

This elegant black and gold table, created between 1838 and 1848 by French artist Auguste-Emile Rinquet-Leprince, exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship of 19th-century furniture design. The table's smooth, black surface contrasts beautifully with the ornate, gold-gilded legs, featuring delicate, swirling flourishes that evoke a sense of refined grandeur.
