    Rare and elegant neoclassical cabaret table in solid Saint-Domingue mahogany, port work made in Bordeaux or Nantes, circa 1780.

    This table is distinguished by the quality of its wood, its balanced architecture, and its meticulous finishing.

    The bowl-shaped top is joined with tenons embedded in the apron, using a traditional 18th-century port joinery technique.

    It rests on four sheathed legs, adorned with two flutes per face on all four sides. The apron is entirely carved with vertical channels, a rhythmic neoclassical motif, very characteristic of the Louis XVI style, and highlighted at its base by a fine protruding molding.

    It opens with a drawer front, mounted in oak, with a softwood back, adorned with a bronze keyhole.

    The drawer front, perfectly integrated into the apron decoration, is carved with the same vertical flutes.

    Cabaret tables appeared in the 18th century as small, refined occasional pieces of furniture, used to hold a light snack and, more importantly, a hot drink. They were then used to hold hot chocolate, tea, or coffee. Placed near an armchair, a sofa, or at the end of a couch, they quickly became a comfortable and distinguished piece in bourgeois and aristocratic salons.

    A piece of furniture typical of so-called port furniture, with a refined design, crafted by carpenters using "island wood" at the crossroads of colonial trade and Parisian taste.

    Perfect condition, carefully restored, with a warm and even patina.
