Antique Empire Style Table
The chief material for furniture of this period was mahogany, both solid and in veneer. The types of design are of two kinds, one the Egyptian, the other the Classical. Both motives are so intermixed as to be difficult to distinguish from each other. Strictly speaking, the Empire period means Napoleon. Its influence, however, spread to other parts of Europe and to America. In 1808 a book was published in England, containing designs mostly copied from French Empire patterns, which did much to popularize the style there. Ormolus are common, deep green, red, royal blue and purple were the colors used in fabrics. The chairs were of simple construction and small; tables were usually round with marble tops and with a central carved pillar with three carved feet on the floor. The beds of the period approach more nearly the modern type. Simplicity of style and rather heavy design were characteristic of this period. This table is an awesome example of this style. The first thing you will notice is the amazing grain of the tabletop, this piece is in excellent condition. tapered legs support the simple top for an elegant feel that you are sure to love. Two hideaway extensions offer plenty of space to seat all your guests at dinner parties. This piece will be awesome in your home! tr11oc101
