Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1880s:
Fine web of craquelure across the top: natural drying of old lacquer.
Brass border pinned by hand along the curves: period metalwork assembly.
Fine shrinkage hairline across the drawer front: movement in the timber over decades.
Softened highlights on the cast bronze mounts: honest wear from handling.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

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.

This Victorian French centre table follows a Louis XV Revival design, standing 71.5 cm high, 66 cm wide, and 46.5 cm deep. The piece is constructed from warm brown kingwood veneer with a shaped serpentine top featuring pictorial chinoiserie marquetry, edged in brass, and raised on four slender cabriole legs. Ormolu and brass mounts embellish the frieze and legs, while scrolling ormolu scrollwork adorns the feet, which are united by a lower curved undertier shelf. Placed in a foyer centre or reception room, the table serves as a decorative display surface or freestanding accent table. The timber grain varies from warm honey tones to deep brown hues across the veneered surfaces, complemented by the polished metallic lustre of the bronze ormolu mounts and the dark tonal contrast of the pictorial tabletop inlay.

FAQs

A Louis XV style centre table typically features asymmetric curves, serpentine edges, cabriole legs, and decorative metal mounts known as ormolu. Originating in eighteenth-century France and popularised again during nineteenth-century revival periods, these freestanding tables are finished on all sides to allow placement in the middle of a room.

Furniture of this era commonly utilises a solid oak or pine carcass overlaid with exotic wood veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, or tulipwood. Decorative accents often incorporate cast brass or gilt bronze (ormolu) fittings alongside detailed marquetry or lacquer panels on the upper surfaces.

Authentic period ormolu mounts are cast in bronze or brass, featuring hand-chased surface details, sharp chasing marks on the reverse, and secure fixing screws or pins integrated into the casting rather than modern uniform machine screws.

A French centre table functions as a focal piece in a formal foyer, entryway, or drawing room. It can be styled beneath a central chandelier with a single decorative vessel or modern sculpture to contrast the historic ornamentation against clean architectural lines.

Wood veneers should be kept away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying or cracking. Dust timber surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly, while ormolu mounts should be cleaned using a soft dry brush without harsh chemical polishes.
