French Louis XVI Style Bouillotte Table - 28¾" x 24½"

A graceful 19th-century bouillotte table in the Louis XVI style, with a compact, well-balanced form that makes it easy to place beside a chair or sofa. The circular top is set with grey marble, animated by delicate white veining that gives it depth and movement, enclosed by a pierced brass gallery with a warm, aged patina. The frieze features two small drawers and two pull-out shelves, a practical detail reflecting its original use. The tapered, fluted legs end in small brass feet, and the wood, likely walnut, has deepened over time to a rich, honeyed tone. 

The marble shows a small, visible repair, a sign of age that adds to the piece’s authenticity. The brass has mellowed beautifully, and the overall patina is warm and consistent.

Easily placed, it works particularly well as a side table between two larger armchairs, where it can comfortably hold a lamp and a couple of drinks. It is equally suited to a study as a lamp or display table. It brings a timeless, understated elegance wherever it is placed.
