This Writing Table, crafted around 1760 by renowned French cabinetmaker Jean-François Oeben, exemplifies the Rococo style. The table's intricate marquetry, using various woods to create floral motifs, showcases Oeben's mastery of this decorative art. The elegant cabriole legs and gilded bronze mounts further enhance the table's graceful form. This piece, characteristic of the Rococo era, is a testament to the refined taste and craftsmanship of 18th-century France.
Comments
Oeben, originally from Germany, specialized in furniture with complicated mechanical parts. When the surface of this desk is pushed back, the inner compartment with a writing panel slides forward. Oeben was also renowned for his delicate floral marquetry.
