This anonymous design for two marble-topped tables from the early 19th century is a meticulous drawing with intricate details, showcasing the Rococo Revival style popular at the time. It portrays two tables with identical marble tops, but with subtly different base designs, showcasing the artist's exploration of ornamentation and form. The artist, while unknown, demonstrated a clear understanding of the period's aesthetic, evident in the elegantly curved and carved legs. This drawing serves as a valuable documentation of furniture design during the Rococo Revival, a time when a renewed interest in the decorative arts of the 18th century flourished.
