Louis XVI style table

Here is a Louis XVI style table, which is probably a piece from the early 20th century. It was likely made in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, or perhaps at the Boulle school. I have seen apprentice furniture of this quality made by students during their training.

Its frame is made of oak while the veneer is rosewood and mahogany with a black fillet.

For the restoration, there was nothing too serious apart from a lack of rosewood in the marquetry à la reine and the detachment of the backing plate.

So I glued the plywood back on with a penetrating adhesive, then replaced the missing rosewood and mahogany, all using a hot-glue technique. I disassembled and re-glued the four legs, which were joined with dowels. Then, I lightly cleaned the surface with an alcohol-based gel, lightly sanded it with 400-grit sandpaper, and finally re-varnished everything with clear shellac.
