This table displays motifs typical of the elegant and fanciful Rococo style of the 1700s, including scrolls, shells, and delicate foliage. Many lively elements give the piece unusual vitality: the large size of the openwork shell in the center, the naturalistic branches with berries on them, and the twisting root-like legs.
