FAQs

Louis XV style occasional tables are defined by asymmetry, fluid curves, and cabriole legs. Originating in 18th-century France, these designs frequently feature kidney shapes, marquetry inlays, and decorative gilt-bronze ormolu mounts.

These tables are traditionally constructed from hardwoods such as rosewood, kingwood, or mahogany. They are often decorated with parquetry or marquetry veneers, cast brass or bronze mounts, and topped with brass gallery rails or inset marble.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of traditional joinery, including hand-cut dovetails and hand-carved elements. Look for natural oxidation on metal mounts, wear on the feet and undersides, and slight irregularity in hand-cut veneer work.

Position the table beside a sofa or accent chair as a functional surface for lighting or books. The classic cabriole legs and wood tones provide a decorative contrast against modern upholstered furniture and neutral walls.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry microfiber cloth and keep the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer lifting. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners on gilt brass mounts, using only a dry cloth to prevent tarnishing or removal of patination.
