Description

Louis XV Style Boulle Marquetry Card Table by Edwards & Roberts

Stock No.: S27-1074

A fine late 19th-century Louis XV style card table by the distinguished London cabinetmakers Edwards & Roberts. The serpentine top and frieze are beautifully inlaid with red tortoiseshell and brass Boulle marquetry of scrolling foliage and cherubs, bordered by ebony and framed with finely cast gilt-bronze mounts. The table opens to reveal its original vibrant red baize playing surface, framed by further Boulle marquetry. Standing on elegant cabriole legs with gilt sabots, this table exemplifies the luxurious craftsmanship for which Edwards & Roberts were renowned. Minor losses to the top, as photographed, do not detract from the overall appearance.

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

A Louis XV style Boulle card table is a gaming or side table inspired by 18th-century French Rococo furniture, characterised by serpentine outlines, cabriole legs, and intricate brass and tortoiseshell marquetry.

Traditional Boulle marquetry combines cut brass scrollwork inlaid into tortoiseshell veneer, applied over an ebonised timber frame and accented with gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts.

Authentic 19th-century pieces feature hand-chased gilt-bronze mounts, precise seamless brass inlay, period joinery on internal frames, and occasional cabinetmaker stamps or labels.

Position the piece as an accent or console table against a neutral backdrop, paired with restrained contemporary art or modern lighting to balance the ornate decorative work.

Keep the furniture in a stable environment with regulated humidity away from direct heat sources to prevent brass lifting or tortoiseshell movement, and dust gently using a soft dry cloth.
