About this Item

Neo-classical inlaid mahogany server, 19th century
the serpentine-front top above a conforming frieze centred by a carved classical urn, flanked by two short drawers and oval fan marquetry to the leg tablets, drawer to the side, raised on six fluted square-section tapering legs terminating in block feet
height: 88cm; width: 194cm; depth: 75cm

Notes

This server draws heavily on the refined design vocabulary of the late 18th century Neo-classical movement, particularly the work of Sheraton and Hepplewhite.

This period saw a shift away from Rococo exuberance towards a more classical and refined style.

This server has a purpose-made glass cover.

Provenance

Private Collection.
