Consulate Collection MAIRE LOUISE OVAL DINING TABLE

Consulate is inspired by the furniture designs of the era following the French Revolution, the ageof Napoleon Bonaparte, who came to power in 1790 and was finally defeated in 1815. During thistime there was a resurgence of classic Greek, Roman and Egyptian forms and the overall effect wasa pairing down of excess. Sophisticated and refined, the pieces in Consulate blend elements ofEmpire, Charles X, Louis XVI, Directoire and Biedermeier. The extraordinary veneers give eachpiece presence and power while the clean lines and soft forms make them timeless, able to holdtheir own in any room whether its a nineteenth century design or a very modern one.
