Mid 18th Century French Oak Occasional Table

18th century
Description

A Fine Mid-18th Century French Louis XV Period Oak Side or Occasional Table with Panelled and Moulded Detailing.

This charming table dates to the middle of the 18th century and is of excellent colour. The three plank top features a simple edge moulding and the frieze of the piece also features a moulded edge of a much more complex pattern, combined with a shaped apron. The table has a single drawer at both ends with the original handles and stands on finely shaped cabriole legs with restrained hoof form feet. The combination of a relatively simple overall form and rococo detailing works very well indeed and the table is a charming and interesting piece of provincial French furniture of this period.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

French Provincial furniture from the 18th century combines simplified elements of Parisian court styles, such as Louis XV, with sturdy regional craftsmanship. Pieces typically feature cabriole legs, subtle serpentine carving, and solid native hardwoods like oak, walnut, or fruitwood.

Regional French furniture makers primarily constructed occasional tables from locally sourced timber, most notably oak, walnut, and cherry. Hardware was generally cast from brass or forged iron, often secured with hand-cut timber pegs and mortise and tenon joinery.

Authentic period pieces exhibit peg-and-tenon joints, hand-planed surfaces with subtle irregularities, and hand-dovetailed drawer construction. Microscopic inspection often reveals historic wood shrinkage around peg insertions and uneven wear patterns on lower leg stretchers and feet.

Position the table alongside modern upholstered seating or in a hallway to serve as a functional accent piece. Pairing historic timber with contemporary lighting or minimalist ceramics creates a balanced, layered interior scheme.

Apply a light coat of natural beeswax polish annually to nourish the timber and maintain the patinated finish. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and maintain stable humidity levels to prevent timber movement or splitting.
