A beautiful vintage French Louis XVI style occasional table featuring an ornate gilt timber frame and rectangular grey and white veined marble top. The elegant design features four finely carved, fluted and turned legs, decorative floral motifs at each corner and an intricate pierced apron with a repeating interlaced pattern. The legs are joined by an elaborate openwork stretcher with interwoven ribbon like detailing, centred with a decorative finial. The rectangular marble top features a bevelled edge and soft natural grey veining, beautifully complementing the aged gilt finish. The classical proportions, symmetrical design and decorative carving reflect the French neoclassical influences associated with Louis XVI furniture. This table formed part of the furniture collection selected for Chanel’s Cruise 2026/27 runway presentation, held on 5 November 2026 at The Cutaway in Barangaroo, Sydney. The event marked Chanel’s first runway show in Australia. The show’s setting incorporated a collection of antique and vintage French furnishings, including ornate gilt furniture and decorative interiors, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a grand Parisian salon. The table is in vintage condition, with wear consistent with age and use, including rubbing, cracking and minor losses to the gilt finish, particularly around the carved detailing and lower stretcher. The marble top displays natural variation in its veining and minor surface marks.
