Louis XIV-Style Giltwood Octagonal Table

This Louis XIV-style French table features an intricately carved giltwood base with an exceptional level of detail, providing an extraordinary example of the opulent style. The base reflects the grandiose, ornamental designs of the age of Louis XIV, and it includes an array of period motifs. Finely carved from top to bottom, the frame incorporates a foliate border with a flowering vine apron, while the oversized legs are formed of decorative scrolls, acanthus leaves, molded rosette designs and claw feet. The base's elaborate design and gilt finish beautifully complement the dark, richly veined marble that serves as the table's top.
