Rosewood dining table with green-tinted boxwood fillets. Perched on legs that are still Louis XV, it is topped with a white marble with bronze gallery that is already Louis XVI. The table opens with a drawer (with its original key), revealing inkwells. Transitional period, circa 1770 - 1780. Our table bears the stamp of Etienne Avril and the JME Jurande mark.

Etienne Avril (1748-1791) - cabinetmaker - master's degree obtained on November 23, 1774: a cabinetmaker under the reign of Louis XVI, Etienne Avril was known for his furniture with panels framed by bronze baguettes. Most of his furniture is made of mahogany. They are characterized by rigorous, simple lines and large, plain surfaces, typical of the Louis XVI style. The shapes are clean, light and well-proportioned, and the bronzes are almost absent, visible only at the lock escutcheons and sometimes in the form of fine framing strips that emphasize the furniture's architecture. Our table dates from the early years of Etienne Avril's career, around the time of his mastery, shortly after 1774.

This small piece of furniture is characteristic of the lightness of the 18th century, known as flying - it can be moved from room to room. Its built-in writing pad allows you to write "billets" at any time.

Our table is in very good condition, the old varnish repolished and cleaned by our cabinetmaker. No accidents.
