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 French serpentine side cabinet is a storage piece featuring an undulating, double-curved front profile popularised during the 18th-century Louis XV period. These cabinets typically incorporate geometric parquetry or floral marquetry veneers accompanied by gilt-bronze mounts.

Cabinetmakers constructed the underlying frame using solid hardwoods like oak or pine, covering it with thin veneers of fine woods such as kingwood, tulipwood, or walnut. Cast bronze or brass mounts, often gilded, were fitted to accentuate the corners, feet, and keyholes while protecting exposed edges.

Period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn back panels, and heavy cast bronze mounts secured with iron or brass screws. Inspecting the interior wood reveals uneven thickness and natural contraction lines consistent with long-term wood seasoning.

A French serpentine cabinet serves as an accent piece in an entryway, dining room, or living room recess. Placing modern abstract artwork or understated ceramic vases on top creates a visual contrast between historic craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Position the cabinet away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent the wood veneers from drying out or lifting. Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish sparingly, avoiding contact with metal ormolu mounts.
