Rochelaise table in rosewood and ebony

Ebénisterie Mathieu Vath

Restoration of a Louis XV coffee table, made in La Rochelle Dating from the mid-18th century, this piece is distinguished by its parquet top, featuring alternating rosewood and ebony veneers. It opens with a drawer integrated into the front apron, whose shaped moldings and cabriole legs with octagonal sides attest to exceptional craftsmanship. The table is made entirely of solid rosewood for the base, the parquet top, and the drawer boxes, while solid ebony is used for the tabletop frame and the drawer front.
