Quality French Kingwood Bedside Tables C1930

1920 - 1940
For Sale by Swag Antiques
Description

These are incredibly elegant and amazing quality with lots of inlaid decoration, including a beautiful flower bowl on the tops

The "serpentine" shape—so named because it mimics the undulating, S-curve of a serpent—is one of the most sophisticated silhouettes in French cabinetry.

By c.1930, this style was often a "Louis XV Revival" piece. While Art Deco was the height of fashion in Paris, many French cabinet makers continued to produce these curvaceous, feminine designs for clients who preferred the classic "Chateau" look.

These have three drawers with decorative brass handles and even applications to the back legs as well as the front.

They show some signs of age with fading on the back of one especially and the normal knocks and scrapes of use. They have great patina and colour

70cm high x 26cm deep x 31.5cm wide

Declaration

Swag Antiques has dated these French Kingwood Bedside Tables to the 1930s.

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.

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

French Kingwood bedside tables, often referred to as tables de chevet, are compact bedroom accent cabinets characterized by rich timber veneers, curved silhouettes, and decorative marquetry work originating from 18th-century French cabinetmaking traditions.

These tables are constructed using exotic veneers such as kingwood, tulipwood, or rosewood applied over a solid hardwood framework, featuring intricate marquetry inlays alongside cast brass or bronze mounts and sabots.

Authentic pieces from this period exhibit hand-fitted drawer joinery, detailed floral or geometric marquetry, polished brass sabots on slender cabriole legs, and natural patina consistent with age.

Pair these tables with crisp neutral bed linens, modern ceramic or brass lamps, and understated artwork to allow the detailed marquetry and warm timber tone to remain the focal point.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth, keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent veneer movement, and apply a small amount of beeswax polish annually.
