Wooden Pedestal Side Table Edgar

Introducing The Met x Eichholtz Edgar Side Table, a reimagining of American Empire furniture. The striking sunburst marquetry top, rendered in burl wood veneers, and the turned pedestal and swept tripod base pay homage to the classical forms that defined Federal-era craftsmanship. Finished throughout in durable PU lacquer, the piece makes itself at home in any curated living space. INSPIRATION The Edgar Side Table was inspired by a center table in The Met collection, created by Philadelphia-based craftsman Anthony G. Quervelle (French, 1789–1856). Paris-born Quervelle was a distinguished creator of Empire-style furniture, a design movement that originated in France during the reign of Napoleon I. This center table, made around 1830, is among the rare documented works from the craftsman’s prolific output.
