Neoclassical walnut side table, Sweden, 18th century

Neoclassical side table in walnut and other inlaid woods, Sweden, 18th century. Top in painted veneer with a central floral motif, inscribed in a geometric frame, decorated at the corners with a Louis XVI-inspired flower, here reinterpreted in a more stylized manner, in line with Gustavian aesthetics, and surrounded by a pierced metal grate. The waist is decorated with the contrasting play of wood grain, with a classical inlaid frieze simulating architectural archways; corners finished with gilded bronze applications, repeating the same floral motif. The structure rests on inverted pyramidal legs decorated with fine fillets.
