Center Table c. 1820

"Center Table" is a c. 1820 work by Austrian artist Josef Danhauser (1780-1829) and is a beautiful example of the Empire style, characterized by its elegant curves and neoclassical elements. The table's oval top and intricate, intertwined legs create a sense of balance and harmony, while the single drawer adds a touch of functionality. The piece is a testament to Danhauser's mastery of woodworking and his ability to blend classical forms with contemporary taste. Today, it is on display at the Art Institute of Chicago.
