Charles X furniture is elegant, light and easy to handle. They are generally sober in form, with structures that are softer than those of the Empire. Small tables like this one are placed close to a variety of seats to promote comfort. Craftsmen of the period were highly skilled in the technique of wood veneering, choosing light-colored materials to bring out the beauty of the furniture.
