Let me introduce you to an other strange name in French furniture. The "table bouillotte" is a light, easy to move table with a small round top resting on a circular rim and four staight legs.
The name of this piece of furniture comes from the game called "bouillotte", a kind of poker which was very fashionable at the end of the 18th century. It was originally played on this round table.
Its four legs are tapered and fluted. The rim contains one or two drawers and sometimes slide-outs.
The top is covered with marble or marquetry and then encircled by a copper edging. A felt matting on the table can be added to play cards.
The table I am proposing you has all the usual characteristics of this type of piece of furniture. It is decorated with a very nice pink marble.
