Ormolu - (from French 'or moulu', signifying ground or pounded gold) is an 18th-century English term for applying finely ground, high-carat gold in a mercury amalgam to an object of bronze.The mercury is driven off in a kiln leaving behind a gold-coloured veneer known as 'gilt bronze'.

The manufacture of true ormolu employs a process known as mercury-gilding or fire-gilding, in which a solution of nitrate of mercury is applied to a piece of copper, brass, or bronze, followed by the application of an amalgam of gold and mercury. The item was then exposed to extreme heat until the mercury burned off and the gold remained, adhered to the metal object.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Nineteenth-century French work tables, often produced during the Napoleon III or Louis XV Revival periods, were designed as functional occasional tables intended for needlework or small domestic tasks, characterised by decorative marquetry and mounted porcelain plaques.

These tables typically incorporate dense hardwoods such as kingwood, rosewood, or walnut, decorated with geometric parquetry veneer, cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts, and hand-painted Sevres-style ceramic plaques.

Authentic period examples feature hand-chiselled gilt-bronze mounts with natural surface oxidisation, hand-painted ceramic inserts with period figures, dovetail joinery within internal compartments, and hand-cut wood veneers showing age-related contraction.

Position the table as a focal accent piece within a reading alcove or entryway, pairing it with neutral upholstery or modern artwork to create a balanced textural contrast between historical and contemporary elements.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft microfiber cloth, avoid exposure to direct heat sources to prevent veneer delamination, and clean gilt-bronze fittings using a soft dry brush without applying abrasive liquid polish.
