Dressing table 1760 - 1770

This elegant "Dressing table" was crafted by Léonard Boudin in the late 18th century. It showcases the intricate marquetry work for which Boudin was renowned, with a top adorned with floral motifs and geometric patterns. The graceful cabriole legs, a hallmark of the Louis XV style, contribute to the table's refined charm. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of 18th-century French furniture making.
