19th Century Country French Louis XIV End Table is a masterwork of the wood sculptor's art!  The intricately contoured and beveled top rests upon a stunning framework that consists of contoured aprons all around, each lovingly carved with shell, floral and foliate motifs in relief, into the very wood from which the apron was made.  Four boldly scrolled cabriole legs provide support, and each has received the attentions of the sculptor as well, with shell and cascading acanthus plumes leading the eye down to the escargot feet below.  Hand-crafted from old-growth oak to last for centuries!
Circa 1870s
