Oblong table 1760 - 1770

This small, elegant table, known as an oblong table, was created by Roger Vandercruse, called Lacroix, between 1760 and 1770. It is a fine example of French Rococo furniture, featuring a serpentine-shaped top, intricate marquetry, and delicate gilt-bronze mounts. The piece currently resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of the French 18th century.
