Antique Pair French Kingwood Marquetry Inlaid Marble Top Bedside Cabinets Nightstands

1900 - 1920
Description

A superb pair of antique French kingwood marquetry inlaid marble top bedside cabinets, beautifully crafted with elegant proportions, shaped marble tops and exquisite floral marquetry. These highly decorative cabinets are equally suited for use as bedside cabinets, lamp tables or accent cabinets in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Each cabinet is veneered in kingwood with wonderfully vibrant colour and striking chevron-pattern veneers to the drawer fronts and sides, enhanced with delicate floral marquetry inlay. The serpentine-front drawers are fitted with ornate original gilt bronze handles, while impressive gilt bronze mounts adorn each front corner. The beautifully figured marble tops feature an elegant serpentine outline and complement the warm tones of the kingwood perfectly.

Offering both beauty and practicality, each cabinet has two generously sized drawers, making them ideal for bedroom storage whilst serving as elegant statement pieces. Their graceful cabriole legs terminate in finely cast gilt bronze sabots, completing the refined French design.

Originally made as luxurious bedside cabinets for a fashionable French bedroom, they remain just as desirable today and are wonderfully versatile pieces of furniture.

This pair of antique French Louis XV style bedside cabinets from 1920 is constructed from kingwood and rosewood veneers with warm brown and ochre colour tones, mounted with shaped marble tops and gilt bronze hardware. Each cabinet features a serpentine front profile enclosing two drawers with chevron-pattern veneers and floral marquetry inlay, complemented by gilt bronze mounts on the front corners and cabriole legs. Visible details include ornate gilt bronze drawer pulls and distinctive serpentine marble tops with ochre veining. The pair measures 76 cm high, 45.5 cm wide, and 32.5 cm deep. In a contemporary home, these cabinets serve as bedside tables or accent lamp tables in a bedroom or living room, providing display surfaces and storage drawers within traditional or modern interiors.

FAQs

Louis XV style furniture from the mid-eighteenth century is characterised by curved serpentine forms, asymmetrical cabriole legs, and intricate veneer work. Marquetry techniques involve piecing together contrasting wood veneers to form decorative floral or geometric patterns.

Cabinetmakers utilised native and imported hardwoods, including kingwood, tulipwood, and rosewood for detailed veneer work. Cabinets were frequently topped with contoured marble and adorned with cast bronze or brass ormolu mounts to protect vulnerable timber edges.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut marquetry veneers, hand-dovetailed drawer construction, and heavy cast metal mounts with original fixing screws. The underside of marble tops often reveals hand-chiseled undersides rather than uniform machine-cut surfaces.

Positioning a symmetrical pair beside a modern upholstered bed frame adds architectural warmth and contrast. Complementing the warm timber and stone tones with minimalist ceramic lamps balances traditional craftsmanship with clean interior lines.

Keep timber veneers away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage, lifting, or fading. Marble tops should be cleaned using pH-neutral solutions and wiped dry immediately to prevent staining or etching from acidic liquids.
