A superb mid century example of a late 19th-century French Bouillotte table in the Louis XVI style. This elegant piece features a beautifully veined grey marble top encircled by a finely pierced brass gallery. It is fitted with two drawers and two pull-out candle slides, all raised on slender, tapering legs. The Bouillotte table takes its name from the fashionable 18th-century French card game “Bouillotte” (pronounced boo-YAHT), a game reminiscent of modern poker for which such tables were originally designed. It is timeless in its appeal, and this classic design remains perfectly suited to both contemporary and classic interiors.
