Pair of Antique French 19th Century Marquetry Inlaid Étagères

19th century
Description

A stylish pair of French marquetry inlaid étagères dating to circa 1860. Each with three shelves featuring intricate marquetry in walnut, boxwood and ebonised inlays depicting musical instruments, scrolls and flowers within a cartouche border and united by ebonised outsplayed supports, with original brass three quarter gallery with finials to the supports and brass edge mouldings to all shelves. This lovely pair of étagères could be used as side tables against a wall or either side of a settee but can also be used completely free standing.

In good condition for age, some fading and water marks more to the top shelves but still very attractive and versatile pieces of furniture.

Dealers Notes

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Etageres emerged in 18th and 19th-century France as open-shelved furniture designed to display porcelain, books, and decorative curiosities. During the Napoleon III period, makers combined intricate timber marquetry with ebonised detailing and brass accents to create decorative occasional tables.

These pieces typically feature fine wood veneers such as walnut, rosewood, or kingwood for marquetry inlay, contrasted with turned ebonised timber supports. Pierced brass galleries and gilt-metal mounts were frequently added along the top tiers to prevent objects from sliding off.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut wood veneers forming intricate floral or geometric patterns, showing subtle variations in texture and colour. Look for original hand-cast brass galleries, evidence of traditional joinery beneath the shelves, and natural oxidation on metal fittings.

A pair of tiered tables works effectively when placed symmetrically on either side of a sofa, fireplace, or doorway. They provide open shelving for displaying books, ceramics, or small sculptures without creating visual clutter.

Dust surfaces regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, following the grain of the veneer. Apply a high-quality beeswax sparingly once or twice a year to preserve the wood finish, avoiding harsh liquid cleaners or placement near direct heat sources.
