Late 19th Century French Kingwood Marquetry Table En Chiffonnière

19th century
Description

A late 19th century (circa 1890) French Kingwood marquetry table en chiffonnière with three drawers.

This table en chiffonnière consists of an oval top with gilt brass gallery surrounding a fine marquetry floral and foliate central design of various woods with ebony and boxwood border.

This leads down to three drawers all with floral and foliate marquetry decoration with ebony and boxwood border, the drawers having decorative ormolu escutcheons and working locks and key.

To either side of the drawers is an ebony and boxwood line decoration giving the effect of a fluted appearance, the sides and back also inlaid with floral and foliate designs all with ebony and boxwood banding.

This lead down to four cabriole legs with gilt metal mounts below with a kidney shaped shelf and gilt brass gallery, this having an inlaid panel depicting an inkwell, book and quill, possibly symbolising either law or scholarly work.

This table en chiffionière is in very good condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

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

Originating in eighteenth-century France, a table en chiffonniere is a small, portable occasional table featuring multiple drawers designed to store needlework, small garments, or personal items.

These pieces typically feature fine veneer woods such as kingwood and rosewood arranged in geometric or floral marquetry patterns, complemented by cast brass or ormolu mounts and pierced gallery rims.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut wood veneers forming detailed inlaid motifs, period-correct dovetail drawer joints, natural timber oxidisation beneath mounts, and cast brass hardware tailored to the frame.

Position this item as an accent piece beside an upholstered sofa, within a reading nook, or as an elegant nightstand in a bedroom scheme to add texture and historical depth.

Clean the wood surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually. Keep the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting.
