Exceptional Early 19th Century Dutch Marquetry Inlaid Centre Table

£6,800    $8,454    €8,162
A late 18th to early 19th century Dutch marquetry-inlaid centre table of exceptional quality. This exquisite table features an overhanging rectangular top above a frieze with a shaped apron all round. It rests on four walnut bold barley twist legs that transition into cube forms, leading to an ebonised H-platform stretcher, and stands on ebonised bun feet. The quality of the decoration is truly exceptional. The frieze, top, and even the centre of the stretcher are inlaid with marquetry that is cleanly laid and beautifully designed.
 
The top of the table incorporates a floral design, with an oval stringing in the centre showcasing an urn on a decorative plinth, surrounded by large flowers and scrolling foliage, and several birds and butterflies resting on the urn. The moulded edge features countless inlaid geometric motifs. A single oak-lined drawer spans the width of the table within the decorated apron.
 
All surfaces, except for the legs, are decorated. The table boasts wonderful proportions, combining the boldness of the design with the intricate marquetry surfaces. This piece is inlaid with fine quality woods in many colours, showcasing a natural theme of birds, butterflies, and flowers. The workmanship and detail are exceptional.
