This 19th-century French Rococo Revival occasional table stands as a decorative piece in warm brown timber veneers, measuring 70 cm high, 43 cm wide, and 35.5 cm deep. The surface showcases detailed floral and arboreal marquetry across the top and the single fitted drawer, complemented by a raised serpentine rim with a metallic brass-coloured border. Curving cabriole legs support the frame, accented with ornate cast ormolu mounts along the shoulders and delicate sabots at the feet. A central metal keyhole escutcheon sits flush on the drawer front amidst the inlaid foliage. Placed in a living room, this occasional table functions practically at the end of a sofa to hold small display items or lamps.

FAQs

These tables are characterized by curvilinear Rococo-inspired silhouettes, intricate wood marquetry depicting floral or foliage patterns, and decorative cast bronze mounts known as ormolu.

Craftsmen typically used hardwoods such as oak or pine for the internal carcass, overlaid with exotic wood veneers including rosewood, kingwood, and walnut, complemented by cast gilded bronze hardware.

Authentic period pieces show hand-cut veneer joinery, natural age-related patination on the timber, hand-chased ormolu mounts with secure screw fittings, and traditional drawer construction like hand-cut dovetails.

Position the table beside a contemporary sofa or armchair to create visual contrast, using its warm timber tones and detailed surface to complement modern minimalist decor.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer lifting, dust regularly with a soft cloth, apply high-grade beeswax sparingly, and clean metal mounts with a dry cloth without abrasive polishes.
