Lot Essay

This slender and delicate table, with its double top, flared uprights and the openwork gallery exemplify the fanciful style of Viennese furniture of this period, blending curved and rectilinear lines, reminiscent here of the balustrades of pagodas. The stark, sharp lines of ebony and amaranth allow the ormolu mounts to shine, a feature that can also be found in a writing table sold Christie's, London, 6 July 2006, lot 70).
