Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

This 18th-century Portuguese Baroque side table comes in warm brown rosewood with visible grain variations and aged patination across its timber surfaces. The rectangular top carries a carved rope-twist border and ripple mouldings along the frieze. Two drawers sit side by side in the front frieze, each fitted with a pierced brass escutcheon around the keyhole. The stand rests on heavy, bulbous turned legs connected near the floor by spiral-turned stretchers, terminating in simpler lower feet. Standing 80 cm high, 110 cm wide and 80 cm deep, the piece functions practically as a side table for a gentleman's library or study. In a modern interior, this table sits comfortably against a wall in a hallway, reception room or home study to hold lamps, books and decorative objects. The rich timber tones and ornate hardware suit traditional or eclectic period rooms, while the compact depth allows placement in narrower circulation spaces without obstructing movement. The sturdy lower stretchers provide structural stability as well as visual interest from multiple angles.

FAQs

18th-century Portuguese tables frequently feature heavy baroque influences, characterised by elaborate turned legs, spiral stretchers, rich native or imported hardwoods such as rosewood, and decorative pierced brass mounts.

Craftsmen predominantly utilised dense tropical hardwoods like Brazilian rosewood and kingwood, paired with hand-forged brass escutcheons, mounts, and iron drawer runners.

Authentic pieces display distinct hand-planed surfaces, hand-cut dovetail joinery in drawer construction, slightly asymmetrical hand-turned spiral legs, and patinated brass fittings consistent with historical metallurgy.

Position the piece as a focal point in an entryway or living space, balancing its rich timber tones and sculptural turned legs against clean-lined modern artwork and neutral walls.

Maintain the original finish by applying a thin coat of high-quality beeswax annually, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and keeping the furniture away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity.
