Round table

Wood, marble, mother of pearl. Carving, inlay. The middle of the 19th century, Europe.


Owing to the surviving photographs of Bulgakov’s last apartment we exactly know that this table stood in the hall and a large mirror in a heavy carved frame hung above it. Bulgakov and his wife used to leave notes on this table for each other and for their housekeeper. They also used to put bags and vases with flowers on the table. After the writer’s death Elena Bulgakova used it as a coffee table. Acquired in 2010 from L. Tarasevich.
