Featured Can some one help me identify this table? probably it is an women's desk

Hellow guys, my grandma have this table since she was a child, and she asked me to find the table provenience,and i ve registers here to see if someone more qualified can help me .

 

JMHO. Louis XV in style. table part and legs follow the classical Louis XV writing tables for the style but I'm not happy with the clock part; that looks later, mid to end 19th c.. could be an Italian or French copy. where was your grandma living as a child ?

In romania , and thats not a clock, it s a draw.

 

sorry, I see it now.

 

Welcome Raduqu.

Was that in the 1950s? I wonder if it was made in Romania.

Wait around, more people will be along later.
I will tag some people for you, @Ghopper1924 , @verybrad .

 

Thank you a lot, i apreciate.

 

And my grandma told me that she have the table from her parents... it s kinda old more than 100 years

 

French or Romanian Rococo Revival mahogany desk. I know that Romania and France share some cultural ties; at one time Bucherest thought of itself as the Paris of east Europe.

Those look like Sevres plaques; at least they're in that style. I'd say ca. 1850-60 or so. The desk could very well have been made in France. Very nice! I wish it were mine. I would never sell it

Oh, and a Rococo Revival woman's desk just sold at auction here in my part of the U.S. Midwest. Not dissimilar to yours, but the carving was better. On the other hand, it did not have any plaques like yours does. It sold for almost $3K. Not saying that yours would sell for more or less than that, but it's good to know, right?

 

Yes, thank you so much, every comment help s me to find the origin of the table, btw in the draw you can still smell the parfume that was stored in it. It s kinda cool, a piece of history.

 

And mahogany...

 

Romania also bought much from Italy, so it could be from there.

 

So hard to find the origin.

 

Romania has always had a strong connection with Italy. They feel related because they speak a Romance language.

 

impossible. because it's not a pure style, but a revival from what I read here. and there were about 3 main Rococo Revivals and a few smaller ones in different countries.

 

Yup, aj, I can read Romanian fairly well. The food has strong influences of Italy - we've a local Romanian restaurant which does a melange of both cuisines.

 

Speaking of Romania- if you ever find yourself in Maryhill, Washington, there is a fabulous collection of the decorative arts designs and objects of Queen Marie of Romania. She designed and fabricated much of her own clothing, furnishings, textiles and art, including her coronation robes and crown. An avid promoter of Romanian culture, she also donated a large collection of folk costumes to Maryhill. She was a remarkable and fascinating woman. https://www.maryhillmuseum.org/inside/exhibitions/permanent-exhibitions/queen-marie-of-romania

 

She was brilliant! Thanks for the link, Darkwing.

 

Yes... im gonna search more :d

 

from the photo looks as if she had also a liking for arts and crafts from her home country England.

 

Probably it s from england, dunno for sure
