Odette Collective
A magnificent Napoleon III center table, and Odette is dazzled by the Boulle work. The serpentine top is inlaid in the Boulle manner — intricate arabesques of gilt-brass scrolling against a dark ground — protected under a glass top. Gilt-bronze mounts add real opulence: a lion mask at the apron, figural caryatids at the knees, and ormolu sabots on the scrolled cabriole legs. It's about as grand as a center or coffee table gets, a true 19th-century statement for a living room or entry. Inlaid, gilded, and unabashedly luxe.
