19th Century Satinwood Folding Tea Table Attributed to the Firm of Maison Giroux

19th century
Description

19th century satinwood inlaid folding tea table attributed to the renowned House of Giroux, Paris.

The rectangular top tier sits above the concave shaped tier, but both are made with book-matched satinwood veneers and crossbanded with mahogany, boxwood and ebony stringing. The gilt brass banded surrounds have been recessed and inset with engine turned upright flutes.

The tea table is metamorphic and collapses down to a flat decorative stand and, when used, the tiers are raised and supported on shaped solid mahogany lopers. The folding table is raised on a shaped base and the feet are typical of the Giroux name.

The design and model is known to be made by the 'Distinguished Firm of Maison Giroux'.

The V&A Museum have a Circular Tazza, that was made by the Parisian luxury company 'Maison Giroux' in their collection. I have listed a hyperlink below.

'Attributed to the House of Giroux' refers to items made by or associated with the French company Maison Alphonse Giroux, a renowned maker of luxury furniture, art, and accessories in Paris from the late 18th century into the 19th century. Items are 'attributed to' the house when they share the characteristic quality and style of the workshop, even if the specific artisan is not known, and the attribution is based on factors like materials, craftsmanship, and period design.

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.

A 19th-century French folding tea table is a specialised piece of occasional furniture designed to facilitate afternoon tea service. Developed during an era of refined social entertaining, these tables often feature ingenious folding mechanisms, multiple tiers, and lightweight framing to allow easy movement between drawing rooms.

High-end 19th-century examples frequently feature figured satinwood, rosewood, or mahogany veneers decorated with crossbanding, marquetry, and polished brass mountings. The joinery incorporates hand-cut hinges, shaped scroll supports, and balanced trestle bases to ensure stability when open.

Authentic pieces display hand-finished secondary woods such as oak or pine on structural undersides, original brass mechanical hinges, and precise veneer work. High-grade French cabinetmakers often applied stamped signatures or maker plaques to the underside or interior frame.

A satinwood folding table serves as an elegant accent piece positioned beside an armchair or within a reading nook. Its tiered shelves provide space for books or small decorative objects, while its warm timber tone adds contrast to contemporary neutral interiors.

Maintain satinwood by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a thin coat of natural beeswax once or twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage, veneer lifting, and colour alteration.
