This 18th century Dutch "Klaptafel" (folding table) by Willem Hendrik Wilhelmus van Royen is a unique example of decorative art. The oval tabletop, painted with a vibrant parrot amongst an array of flowers, is a classic example of "frieze painting," a popular Dutch decorative style of the period. The intricate floral arrangement and the striking parrot, set against a black background, provide a captivating visual focal point. The table's folding mechanism adds to its functionality and portability, making it a versatile object for both display and practical use.
