Antique French Louis XV Walnut Marble Top Dining Table

Price: $7,900

Antique French Louis XV walnut marble-top dining table is a truly unusual find! Sculpted from exquisite French walnut and luxuriously veined rouge marble, it combines the best of both worlds!  The undulating scrollwork of the apron and cabriole legs below are accentuated with shell, floral and foliate adornment carved right into the very wood itself, not applied like modern furniture.  Of particular note is the bold shell carving in glorious full relief that appears midway on both of the the long sides.  Acanthus plumes and escargot feet enhance the cabriole legs.  The elegant framework supports the ultimate in carefree dining table surfaces, a solid slab of exquisitely veined marble, with intriguing patterns of geological mystery that will become a conversational topic. Enjoy French luxury every day of your life, for the rest of your life~
