SOLD
A small scale lamp table with parquetry oak top, raised on three square legs, with ebonised edges and attached to a lower triangular shelf stretcher.
This parquetry top table with a geometric veneered pattern is of high decorative value. The word parquetry stems from the French ‘parchet’, first employed at Versailles in 1682. As an alternative to stone or marble, it soon became of interest to cabinet makers.
