Fine Quality Late 19th Century French Style Etagere with Marquetry Inlaid Decoration by Edwards & Roberts

19th century
Description

A fine quality late 19th century (circa 1890) French style rosewood two tier freestanding serpentine shaped etagere with marquetry decoration by Edwards & Roberts.

This highly decorative etagere consists of two tiers, the top tier with superb floral and foliate marquetry decoration of various woods with a rosewood border and gilt metal moulded edge.

The top tier is supported by four shaped supports with gilt metal foliate mounts leading down to the lower tier also with superb floral and foliate marquetry decoration of various woods with a rosewood border, gilt metal moulding to the edge and gilt metal handles.

The etagere is supported by four cabriole legs with gilt metal foliate mounts to the top and terminating with gilt metal sabots to the feet.

The underside fitted with a maker’s label of 'Edwards & Roberts, Wardour St, 126 Piccadilly, 532, Oxford St, London.'

Edwards & Roberts were formed in 1845 with premises at 21, Wardour Street, London where they traded until the end of the century. They became one of the leading cabinet makers and retailers in the city producing fine quality items particularly furniture with inlay, marquetry and ormolu.

This etagere is in very good condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home and is a very versatile piece.

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

Originating in eighteenth-century France, the etagere was designed as a light, open-shelved table or stand used to display small ornaments and curiosities. During the late nineteenth century, English cabinet makers frequently reproduced these French Rococo designs, combining delicate cabriole legs with intricate floral marquetry.

These tables are constructed using a hardwood frame surfaced with contrasting wood veneers such as rosewood, satinwood, and kingwood to create marquetry patterns. Decorative edges and leg joints are fitted with cast ormolu or gilded bronze mounts to protect the corners and add ornamental detail.

Authentic pieces often feature maker stamps or metal plaques from recognized firms, such as Edwards & Roberts, along top drawer edges or undersides. Look for hand-cut wood veneers, original cast bronze mounts with aged gilding, and signs of hand-planed joinery on the underside.

Place the table alongside contemporary seating as an occasional side table or position it in a hallway alcove. The multi-tiered design provides functional surfaces for books, lamps, or small ceramic objects while bridging classical and contemporary decor.

Keep the furniture in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood veneers from lifting or cracking. Clean the marquetry with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the ormolu mounts to preserve the historic patina.
