Work and writing table 1750 - 1765

Bernard II van Risenburgh's "Work and writing table" from 1750-1765 exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of 18th-century furniture. The table features a marquetry top, elegant cabriole legs, and delicate, silvered bronze mounts that enhance the graceful lines of the piece. Its compact size, intricate details, and functional design make it a quintessential example of Rococo style and a testament to the artist's expertise in woodworking and marquetry. This table is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
