French Louis XV Style Round Side Table

This is a French Louis XV style round side table, likely crafted from mahogany or a similar dark-stained hardwood, distinguished by its elegant curves. The table features a circular top with a smooth, polished finish, showing a deep reddish-brown hue typical of period reproductions or well-maintained antiques. The apron below the tabletop is accented with what appears to be decorative brass or metal studs, evenly spaced, adding a touch of classical elegance. The legs exhibit a pronounced cabriole form, gracefully curving outwards and then inwards towards the foot, which terminates in a subtle scroll or pad foot. Halfway down the legs, a lower shelf is integrated, following a complementary curvilinear design, adding both aesthetic balance and functional storage. The construction appears to be solid wood, with visible wood grain patterns on both the top and the lower shelf. There are no obvious significant condition issues such as cracks or major scratches, though typical signs of age and use, like minor scuffs or a subtle patina, are likely present given its design. The lustrous finish suggests either a well-preserved original piece or a high-quality reproduction. The craftsmanship indicates attention to detail, particularly in the shaping of the legs and the integration of the lower shelf. The style suggests an estimated age from the late 19th to mid-20th century, consistent with revival styles that drew inspiration from earlier French furniture.
