Superb Quality 19th Century French Kingwood Freestanding Occasional Table

19th century
Description

A superb quality French 19th century (circa 1870) Kingwood freestanding occasional table with sophisticated mechanism.

This table of sophisticated form has a unique design where the top slides back and the drawer slides forward to allow full access to the interior of the drawer.

The table consists of a finely inlaid top with quarter panelled Kingwood veneered shaped central section with central inlaid brass plaque with engraved letters, possibly 'CC' with exquisitely inlaid brass wire to the edge.

The outer section being veneered in thuya wood with superbly inlaid Kingwood scrolling decoration with inlaid brass wire.

This leads down to an ebonised moulded edge with brass banding, below this the single drawer, sides and back veneered with Kingwood and thuya wood foliate decoration with brass wire inlay, the drawer having a decorative ormolu escutcheon plate and the interior of the drawer being mahogany lined.

The table is supported by four ormolu mounted cabriole legs, the legs also inlaid with Kingwood, thuya wood and brass wire terminating with ormolu sabots to the feet.

Although there is no evidence of a makers mark or stamp there is no doubt it has been made by a very good workshop or cabinetmaker due to the superb inlay and unique mechanism.

This table 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

Rococo revival furniture from 19th-century France draws heavy inspiration from 18th-century Louis XV designs. Key features include cabriole legs, asymmetrical serpentine outlines, elaborate floral marquetry, and applied gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts.

These pieces were typically constructed with a solid oak or pine carcase overlaid with fine kingwood veneers arranged in parquetry or marquetry patterns. Accent decorations were rendered in cast brass or bronze, finished with gold mercury gilding.

Authentic period tables exhibit hand-cut veneer work with fine saw marks, hand-carved dovetail joinery inside frieze drawers, and cast bronze mounts secured by screws from the underside or interior rather than modern adhesives.

A French occasional table functions effectively as a side table beside an armchair, an accent piece in a hallway, or an elegant bedside table, providing visual contrast when placed against clean contemporary architectural lines.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and keep the table away from direct heat sources to prevent veneer cracking. Metal mounts should be dusted dry, avoiding harsh liquid metal polishes that could penetrate and strip the surrounding wood finish.
