Late 19th Century Mahogany Oval Bijouterie Display Table

19th century
Description

A Very Good Quality Late 19th Century Mahogany Oval Inlaid Bijouterie Type Display Table, The Hinged Top With Glass Viewing Panel And Profuse Marquetry Inlaid Decoration, Over Further Glass Panels To All Sides And Upholstered Bottom Panel, Raised On Very Elegant Scrolling Cabriole Legs United By Shaped Cross Stretcher.

Bijouterie tables became particularly fashionable during the second half of the 19th century and were designed specifically for the display of treasured possessions and collections. The word "bijouterie" derives from the French for jewellery and, although jewellery was certainly amongst the items displayed in them, they were also used for all manner of small valuable and decorative objects which their owners wished to both protect and enjoy.

This is a particularly attractive example, with the unusual oval form giving it an elegance which is enhanced considerably by the profuse marquetry inlaid decoration surrounding the glazed top. Further glass panels to all sides allow the contents to be viewed from almost every angle, whilst the upholstered base provides an appropriate surface on which to arrange whatever is being displayed.

The lower section is equally elegant, with beautifully shaped scrolling cabriole legs united by a shaped cross stretcher, creating a light and refined appearance which ensures the table remains decorative without appearing overly heavy or cumbersome.

Bijouterie tables remain extremely practical pieces of antique furniture for the modern home and provide a wonderful opportunity to display a collection whilst keeping it safely enclosed. Jewellery, watches, silver, medals, coins and other small collectables would all work particularly well, whilst equally it could simply house a changing selection of favourite decorative objects.

As with all items which we offer for sale this bijouterie table has been attended to in our workshops by our highly skilled and traditional antique furniture restorers before being offered for sale and is therefore ready to place straight into the home.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

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.

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

A bijouterie table, also known as a display table or vitrine table, was designed during the 19th century to display small precious objects, jewellery, and collectibles securely under glass.

These tables are traditionally constructed from mahogany or rosewood, featuring glass panels on the top and sides, timber marquetry or stringing, and fabric linings within the display cavity.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut marquetry or inlay, period-appropriate brass lock mechanisms, natural wood oxidisation on the underside, and hand-fitted glass panels.

A bijouterie table works well as an occasional piece in a living room, hallway, or dressing room, providing space to display pocket watches, medals, or curated decorative items.

Dust the mahogany frame regularly with a soft cloth, apply beeswax sparingly, and clean the glass elements by spraying cleaner onto a cloth rather than directly onto the timber.
