Large oval table from the early 19th century in walnut, 3.17m with extensions.

Rare and elegant oval table with a folding system, dating from the late 18th century / early 19th century, Directoire – early Empire period, perfectly embodying the sober and refined aesthetic of this era. Made of solid wood, this table features an antique walnut top with a deep and warm patina, resting on eight finely turned tapered legs, mounted on brass casters, an emblematic detail of late 18th-century furniture. The central sliding mechanism, incorporating a storage compartment, showcases an ingenious and functional design, typical of salon or game tables intended for bourgeois interiors of the Directoire period. The table is accompanied by four modern extensions, made of solid wood and carefully stained to match the tone of the antique top, allowing for a harmonious extension up to 3.17 metres. This configuration offers great versatility of use while maintaining a beautiful aesthetic coherence. With its generous proportions, elegant lines, and authenticity, this table is a character piece, equally suited to a classic interior or contemporary decor seeking a strong and timeless presence.
