FAQs

French marquetry developed significantly during the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly under the reign of Louis XIV and later Louis XV, where master craftsmen utilised finely cut wood veneers to create pictorial and geometric designs on furniture surfaces.

These tables are traditionally constructed from a carcase of secondary wood such as oak or pine, veneered with exotic and native hardwoods like walnut, rosewood, and kingwood, and decorated with hand-cut floral or geometric marquetry patterns alongside cast bronze or ormolu mounts.

Authenticity is identified by examining the quality of the hand-chiselled ormolu mounts, the depth and hand-cut nature of the wood veneers, traditional joinery methods such as hand-cut dovetails or pegged joints, and natural age-related patination and shrinkage of the timber.

An antique marquetry side table adds texture and historical contrast to contemporary spaces when used as a freestanding accent piece, paired with minimalist seating or neutral walls to allow the detailed wood grain and metallic mounts to stand out.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting and wood splitting, dusting regularly with a dry soft cloth, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax while avoiding harsh chemical cleaning products.
