In the center is represented in particular a man in profile topped with a vegetable crown. This character is encircled by a frieze in various shades. On either side, two eagles with outstretched wings, resting on pedestals in palmettes and volutes feuillagées, complete this painting. The scene is doubly framed by uninterrupted sets of geometric motifs. The edges of this plateau are also inlaid. The belt, set back, is in a walnut veneer arranged vertically and is embellished with two lemon tree fillets.
This table rests on a generously turned and molded central shaft, finished with four cut-out legs. Conceived in the restoration taste, they are largely off-centered, thus guaranteeing the perfect stability of the whole. To note also their composition in solid walnut, where the congeners of this piece of furniture are more commonly provided with legs in veneer wood.
One will choose this pedestal table rather than another one in particular for the finesse and the quality of its marquetries, as well as for its diverse and harmonious colors.
