This nineteenth-century etagere in the Louis XVI manner functions as a three-tier side table or end-of-a-sofa display piece. Constructed in Honduras mahogany and finished in warm brown tones, the item features three rectangular shelves decorated with geometric parquetry inlay and inset brass filleting, bounded by pierced brass galleries around their edges. Four square-section vertical supports connect the tiers, joined by brass accents, and the whole rests upon ring-turned toupie feet complete with brass toes. Measuring 76 cm high, 36 cm wide, and 25.5 cm deep, this compact French Chateau style stand is suited for placement beside upholstery or against a wall to hold small decorative objects or lamps. The piece remains in unrestored original condition with visible age.

FAQs

Louis XVI style furniture developed in late 18th-century France as a return to Neoclassical principles, moving away from Rococo curves toward straight lines, geometric symmetry, fluted columns, and classical marquetry.

These pieces frequently incorporate fine wood veneers such as kingwood, tulipwood, or rosewood arranged in geometric parquetry, accented with gilt-brass or ormolu mounts and pierced gallery rims.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut joinery, solid cast and chased brass mounts with historic oxidisation, precise hand-laid parquetry veneers, and age-consistent wear on foot terminals and shelf undersides.

An etagere functions as an accent side table beside seating or in entryways, providing open display tiers for curated ceramics, small sculptures, or books without visually overwhelming small rooms.

Maintain wood surfaces by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying natural beeswax sparingly, while avoiding moisture near veneer edges. Clean brass rims gently without harsh chemical abrasives to preserve the aged surface finish.
