Antique Quality Pair of French Louis Xv Style Marquetry Bedside Cabinets

19th century
Description

A fine antique quality pair of French Louis XV style bedside cabinets each beautifully crafted in kingwood and tulipwood with exquisite floral marquetry panels and original ormolu mounts.

The serpentine-shaped tops are finished in richly coloured breccia marble perfectly complementing the warm tones of the veneers below. Each cabinet features two drawers with finely detailed floral marquetry, elegant brass handles, and decorative ormolu mounts to the sides, knees, and feet. The subtle chevron-pattern veneer work across the fronts and sides demonstrates superb artistry and precision, typical of fine Parisian craftsmanship in the late 19th century.

These versatile and decorative cabinets would make a wonderful addition as bedside tables, side cabinets, or lamp tables, adding refinement and elegance to any interior.

Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

The Louis XV style, emerging in the mid-18th century, is characterised by Rococo influences including sweeping curves, asymmetrical motifs, cabriole legs, ornate marquetry veneer, and decorative gilt-bronze mounts.

These cabinets typically feature solid wood frameworks overlaid with fine veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, or walnut, complemented by hand-cut floral marquetry, cast brass or bronze mounts, and fitted natural marble tops.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-sawed veneers with natural grain variations, hand-dovetailed drawer construction, uneven hand-cast metal fittings, and signs of genuine age to the timber and underside surfaces.

A pair of decorative bedside cabinets can be placed alongside an upholstered headboard to add historical texture, or used as accent side tables in a contemporary living space to create a balanced stylistic contrast.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Marble tops should be wiped promptly if liquid spills occur to prevent staining, while wooden veneers benefit from placement away from direct heat sources.
