Precious table with work from the 19th century in oval shape, in black lacquered "paper mache" and with burgauté decoration (inlaid with mother-of-pearl) of castle and flowers, from the Napoleon III period. The set has a polychrome decoration composed of friezes of grapes, scrolls of flowers tapering in gold, palmettes and scrolls. The top opens with a flap revealing a removable couture case made up of eighteen compartments, in moiré silk and green velvet. inside, a set of small sewing objects such as a vermeil dice, six spool holders and two ivory needle holders. The case conceals a larger container made up of a single box. In the lower part, a drawer, opening onto seven storage compartments and closing with a small key lock. The central baluster base with a melon-sided base rests on four scrolled feet on wheels.
This light, functional and beautifully crafted piece of furniture perfectly embodies this era of industrial revolution where bourgeois pomp and the triumph of luxury are reflected in all areas.

Condition report: In good general condition, slight wear of time on the fabric and the burgauté.
Functional bottom drawer with its key. Missing key on top lock. Two spool holders have been restored.
