Designed to sit flat against a wall, these tables typically feature neoclassical proportions, hand-carved wood frames, water-gilded gold leaf finishes, and fitted marble tops.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved joinery, red or yellow bole showing beneath worn gold leaf, natural surface craquelure, and age-appropriate wear to the timber underside.

Position the table in an entryway or hallway beneath a minimalist mirror or modern artwork to create a balanced contrast between historical carving and contemporary architectural lines.

Dust gently using a dry soft brush or microfibre cloth, keeping the surface free from water, liquid polishes, or harsh solvents that degrade delicate gesso and gilding.
