Vine wood table
- Localisation : The Gallery of Battles
- Année de création :Circa 1540
- Artiste :Anonymous
Description
Walnut, vine wood, amaranth and ivory.
The tabletop is made from a single piece of vine wood, with Henri IV’s coat of arms and Anne de Montmorency’s motto. The veneer of the tabletop was probably obtained by peeling a vine stock with an exceptionally long straight section. This table is a source of curiosity and had been part of the Condé princes’ collections since the 17th century. Seized during the Revolution, it was subsequently returned to the last Prince of Condé.
