This 1920 French Louis XV side cabinet stands 96 cm high, 111 cm wide, and 41 cm deep. The piece is built from walnut, mahogany, and kingwood veneers finished in warm brown tones, topped with a shaped serpentine marble surface. A central door holds an oval painted pastoral scene panel, flanked by two side doors featuring parquetry diamond inlay patterns. Gilt bronze ormolu mounts decorate the borders, frieze, and cabriole legs, while curved scrolling brass lines outline the door fronts. Placed in a living room, hallway, or dining space, the cabinet provides surface display space alongside enclosed storage behind the three doors. The marble top lifts off the wooden base for transport, and the polished surfaces display minimal wear from age.

FAQs

Vernis Martin refers to an eighteenth-century French lacquering technique developed to imitate East Asian lacquerware, frequently featuring delicate painted pastoral or romantic scenes framed by elaborate gilt-bronze mounts on curved wooden furniture.

These cabinets traditionally feature solid hardwood carcasses overlaid with fine veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, or walnut in decorative marquetry patterns, crowned with a heavy contoured marble slab and embellished with chased gilt-bronze or brass mounts.

Authentic pieces feature asymmetrical Rococo curves, hand-cut joinery, natural age craquelure on hand-painted vignettes, heavy cast and chased gilt-bronze mounts secured with historical screw fixings, and thick, hand-contoured marble tops.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the wood grain, while cleaning the marble top exclusively with pH-neutral stone cleaners to prevent acid etching.

Position the cabinet as a focal point against a neutral backdrop, balancing its intricate woodwork and metallic accents with minimalist table lamps, structured contemporary ceramics, or clean-lined framed artwork resting on the marble surface.
