This late nineteenth-century occasional table originates from the Louis XVI Revival period, constructed from walnut, satinwood and ormolu in a warm brown timber colourway. The piece stands at 72 cm high, 70.5 cm wide and 44.5 cm deep, resting on square tapered legs joined by a concave X-stretcher centred with an ormolu urn finial. It displays intricate marquetry inlay across the serpentine top and frieze panels, accented by gilded bronze ormolu mounts, cast borders and small brass castors. In a contemporary home, this versatile occasional table functions effectively as an end-of-sofa table or lamp table in a living room, hallway or study. The compact proportions allow placement beside seating or against a wall, while the surface and lower stretcher provide display space for lighting or decorative items within French Chateau styled interiors.

FAQs

A marquetry ladies work table is a refined occasional table originating in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, designed primarily for storing sewing accessories, letters, or small crafts. These tables feature decorative wood veneer patterns, known as marquetry, and were prominent features in formal drawing rooms.

These tables are crafted using dense hardwoods such as walnut, rosewood, or mahogany as the core frame. The decorative surface combines exotic veneers like satinwood, boxwood, and tulipwood, frequently trimmed with cast gilt-bronze or brass mounts, known as ormolu.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut timber veneers showing slight natural irregularities, hand-dovetailed drawer joinery, and patinated brass fittings. Additionally, look for signs of historical shrinkage in the timber framing underneath and original gilded metalwork on the feet or stretchers.

Position the table as an accent piece next to clean-lined contemporary sofas or within a hallway alcove to create contrast. Pair it with modern table lamps or understated ceramic accessories to highlight the detailed woodwork without overwhelming the space.

Keep the furniture away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent veneer lifting or timber cracking. Dust the wood regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly, taking care not to let wax build up on the gilt-bronze mounts.
