Description
A half-moon table in satinwood veneer and marquetry; the band is decorated with quatrefoils set within interlacing patterns (the veneer is raised in places, with gaps and sun-faded areas).
It stands on four sheathed legs (damaged, repaired).
The folding top is lined with green felt (showing signs of damp and patches where the felt is missing).
Height: 79 cm – Width: 101 cm – Depth: 51 cm
Folding top: Diam.: 101 cm
On the underside, a stencilled mark reading ‘Meubles anciens Hopilliart & Leroy, Paris, 12 rue des Saints-Pères’.
Louis XVI style, 19th century.
Note: it is interesting to note that a bill dated 27 April 1910 was found in Marcel Proust’s former ‘Cartonnier’, now held at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. It bears the letterhead ‘Hopilliart & Leroy, 12 rue des Saints-Pères’, addressed to ‘Marcel Proust, 102 bd Haussmann’, listing a range of items, including, in particular, English engravings.
