Antique French Louis XV Style Kingwood Marquetry Two-tier Étagère C.1900

1900 - 1920
Description

A particularly elegant antique French Louis XV style two-tier étagère or tea table, dating to around 1900, finely veneered in richly figured kingwood and decorated throughout with delicate floral marquetry and gilt-bronze mounts.

The table is formed with two shaped serpentine tiers, each edged with a gilt-bronze gallery and centred by beautifully executed floral and foliate marquetry. The upper tier is supported on gracefully curved uprights embellished with gilt-bronze leaf and floral mounts, while the lower tier incorporates decorative side handles, allowing the piece to function beautifully as a serving, drinks or display table.

The slender cabriole-style legs are similarly mounted with gilt-bronze ornament and terminate in decorative sabots, giving the table the sophisticated lightness associated with late nineteenth-century French revival furniture.

What distinguishes this example is the quality and abundance of its decoration. The contrast between the warm figured veneers, finely worked marquetry and aged gilt-bronze mounts produces an exceptionally decorative surface from every angle.

FAQs

Originating in eighteenth-century France and revived through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a French Louis XV style etagere table is a multi-tiered occasional table designed for display and functional use. Characterised by fluid serpentine contours, cabriole legs, and asymmetrical ornamental mounts, these tables feature open shelving tiers connected by slender supports.

Late nineteenth and early twentieth-century French tables commonly utilise exotic timber veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, and tulipwood laid over a solid hardwood framework. Decorative surface designs are created using intricate wood marquetry, framed by cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) or brass edge mouldings and mounts.

Authentic pieces from this period exhibit hand-cut timber veneers arranged in parquetry or floral marquetry patterns, fine joinery on the underside, and cast metal mounts secured with period-appropriate screws. The silhouettes feature curvilinear cabriole legs, shaped aprons, and polished gilt-bronze or brass accents along edges and knee joints.

Place a tiered etagere beside a sofa or in a reading corner to introduce warm wood tones and classical structure to modern spaces. The upper and lower surfaces provide display areas for small ceramic vessels, stacked art books, or table lamps without visually overwhelming smaller rooms.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth, avoiding liquid polishes or water that can damage thin timber veneers. Apply a natural beeswax paste annually to nourish the wood finish, and clean metal mounts using a soft dry brush to prevent polish build-up inside cast recesses.
