About the Item
Presenting a magnificent signed Paul Sormani marquetry inlaid, bronze-mounted, doré ormolu napkin/card table, an exquisite example of 19th-century French craftsmanship at its finest. This elegant Louis XVI–style table features an extraordinary geometric marquetry top framed by a brass border, opening to reveal its original green felt gaming surface—perfect for cards, napkin folding games, or intimate parlor entertainment. The apron showcases a stunning array of cube-pattern veneer work, centered with a gilt bronze laurel wreath motif symbolizing victory and refinement. The table is supported by slender, fluted tapering legs capped with doré ormolu mounts and brass sabots, highlighting the neoclassical sophistication synonymous with the Sormani workshop.
Paul Sormani (1817–1877), born in Venice and later establishing his renowned Parisian atelier, was one of the most distinguished ébénistes of the 19th century. Celebrated for producing luxurious furniture “in the style of the ancien régime,” Sormani earned numerous medals at international expositions and became a favorite of European aristocracy, including Empress Eugénie. After his passing, the firm continued under the direction of his widow and son, maintaining the same level of excellence and artistic precision.
Measures 23.75 x 23.75 x 29.5 tall
This signed Sormani table is an exceptional investment-grade piece—ideal for collectors of fine French antiques, luxury interiors, or anyone seeking a rare and historically significant decorative treasure.

Paul Sormani
Paul Sormani, counted among the most elite Parisian ébénistes of the 19th century, used the foundation of Louis XV and XVI styles for his meubles de luxe (luxurious furnishings).
Sormani received enormous attention as one of Paris’ finest and most influential ébénistes and earned worldwide acclaim by displaying his pieces at many of the world’s leading exhibitions. At the 1867 Exhibition Universelle in Paris the celebrated designer received an award and was described in the exhibition journal as “...a distinguished ébéniste of Paris, whose works deservedly attracted the attention of the public, and received the marked approval of the connoisseur.”
Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, decorated her palaces with beautiful creations by Paul Sormani whose designs were of a select few favored by the Empress. Revivals of Louis XV and XVI pieces were in high demand among affluent Parisians, and Sormani created many of the finest and most important furnishings of the period.
