This anonymous design for two round tables from the early 19th century showcases the Rococo style's ornate and delicate flourishes. Both tables feature intricate foliate carving on their bases, creating a sense of movement and naturalism. The tables are drawn with precision and detail, suggesting they were intended as blueprints for actual construction. This design exemplifies the continued influence of the Rococo aesthetic on furniture design even into the 19th century, demonstrating the enduring appeal of its playful and elegant forms. The tables would have been ideal for a grand home or palace, serving as both functional and decorative pieces.
