About the Item

This exceptional late 19th-century French dessert table, attributed to Paul Sormani, is a superb example of Parisian luxury furniture, combining refined Louis XV–inspired form with extraordinary craftsmanship and opulent materials. Designed as a serving or presentation table for desserts, porcelain, or silver, this piece reflects the highest standards of French ébénisterie during the Belle Époque. Constructed from mixed exotic woods, including richly figured kingwood, the table displays beautifully executed marquetry and crossbanding across the top and frieze. The warm, lustrous surface is framed by delicate inlaid borders, emphasizing the precision and symmetry of the design. A distinctive feature is the elegant gilt bronze gallery rail, which rises gracefully above the tabletop—both decorative and functional, intended to secure fine serving pieces while enhancing the table’s architectural presence. The apron is lavishly adorned with finely cast and chased gilt bronze mounts, including repeating rosette motifs and classical detailing that echo 18th-century French prototypes. Each corner is reinforced with sculptural bronze elements, seamlessly integrated into the woodwork and executed with crisp definition and rich gilding. The cabriole legs are gracefully contoured and terminate in gilt bronze sabots, adding both visual refinement and structural protection—an unmistakable hallmark of elite French furniture. Every element of this table speaks to meticulous hand craftsmanship: the harmonious marriage of wood species, the flawless inlay work, and the perfectly fitted bronze mounts. Tables of this caliber were produced for sophisticated Parisian interiors, where they served as both functional furniture and symbols of taste, wealth, and cultural literacy. Attribution to Paul Sormani Paul Sormani (1817–1877) was among the most esteemed cabinetmakers working in Paris during the Second Empire and late 19th century. Operating from prestigious workshops on rue Charlot and later boulevard Haussmann, Sormani specialized in museum-quality reinterpretations of Louis XV, Louis XVI, and Empire furniture. His work is renowned for exceptional precision, luxurious materials, and bronze mounts of the highest quality—often rivaling those of 18th-century royal ébénistes. Furniture attributed to Sormani is highly prized by collectors and institutions for its scholarly accuracy and uncompromising craftsmanship. This dessert table exemplifies those qualities, from its refined proportions to its opulent decorative vocabulary. Elegant, rare, and exquisitely detailed, this Paul Sormani–attributed gilt bronze and kingwood dessert table is a connoisseur’s piece—ideal for collectors of fine French furniture or interiors seeking authentic 19th-century Parisian sophistication.
