DescriptionThis Louis XV-style parquetry table, made en suite with Mrs. Reynolds’s desk, is round in overall shape with four square tapered legs. Parquetry veneer (geometric wood inlay arranged in block patterns) nearly covers the table’s top and is framed by mahogany veneer with grain radiating from the center. The parquetry and frame are separated by string inlay. The square tapered legs, terminating in brass feet, are covered with the same striated mahogany veneer enclosed by string inlay.ProvenanceFrom 1964
