The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

An encoignure is a French type of cabinet designed specifically to fit into the corner of a room, featuring a curved or angled front. Emerging in the 18th century, these pieces were created to maximise usable space while adding decorative symmetry to formal interiors.

Cabinetmakers during this era commonly utilised fine hardwoods such as tulipwood, kingwood, and walnut for veneering and marquetry, often set upon an oak framework. tops were frequently fitted with thick, shaped marble slabs, and decorative accents were fashioned from chased gilt bronze or ormolu mounts.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut marquetry veneers with slight variations in grain and fit, along with hand-forged iron hardware and saw marks on unpolished backboards. Additionally, genuine pieces often feature thick, hand-carved marble tops with natural oxidisation and wear underneath the rim.

An antique corner cabinet serves as a focal point in underutilised room junctions, softening hard architectural angles. Pair it with neutral wall tones or minimalist modern decor to allow the intricate wood grain and detailed marquetry work to stand out.

Clean wood veneers regularly with a dry, lint-free microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly to maintain lustre. For the marble top, use only pH-neutral cleaners and wipe spills immediately to prevent staining or etching of the polished surface.
