Offered in this lot is a Late 18th Century French Louis XV Hand-Carved Wood Game Table. The style of 18th century French furniture was guided by the court. When Louis XV, who reigned from 1715–74, focused royal life on the smaller salons of Versailles rather than its grand chambers, it transformed the aesthetics away from the imposing and angular furniture that characterized the style of Louis XIV. A broader focus on comfort and more delicate forms define antique Louis XV furniture, with nature-inspired carvings, wood inlays, curved cabriole legs, asymmetrical shapes and rounded oval seat backs. The game table top features a marquetry inlaid star in alternating shades. Hand-carved scrolled apron below single divided drawer with knob pull and locking mechanism (key not included), delicately carved cabriole legs with hoof feet, scrolled side aprons. Table is in good preserved condition overall, humidity separation noted on top panels and lip edge. Measures 23.5"D x 37"W x 26.5"H and weighs 45 pounds.
