Pair Antique Rosewood and Marquetry Bedside Cupboards C.1890

19th century
Description

An exemplary and true pair of Victorian rosewood bedside cabinets in absolutely superb original condition.

.

The rosewood of the most beautiful grain and colour and the cabinet work of the highest quality.

.

The doors and tops inlaid with exquisite floral marquetry in harewood, ebony, walnut, satinwood, holly and what appears to be bog oak.

.

These bedside cabinets have always been well cared for. The fielded panel doors open and close smoothly on original hinges and with original thumb turn latches. The inner shelves are removable.

.

It is rare to find a true pair of 19th century bedside chests in such excellent original condition. Many that are advertised as pairs of antique bedside cabinets are actually converted from the pedestals of sideboards with later tops added.

.

Condition: exceptionally fine, no worm or damage and only the smallest number of tiny knocks and scuffs. One internal shelf is later.

.

From a private home and with removable shaped glass tops which have been made for these chests and will protect the tops from damage and marks.

.

Strongly recommended - in exemplary original condition and truly beautiful.

.

.

Dimensions are:

.

28.5 inches high, 17 inches wide and 13.25 inches deep front to back. Height above the internal shelf is 9.5 inches and below is 13 inches.

Late Victorian marquetry cupboards from around 1890 frequently feature figured hardwoods such as rosewood decorated with inlaid patterns, including classical urns, floral motifs, and foliate swags. These pieces reflect the Neo-Classical revival of the late nineteenth century, combining functional storage with decorative cabinet making.

Cabinet makers predominantly used dark rosewood veneers over solid pine or oak carcases, applying contrasting timber inlays such as boxwood, sycamore, or fruitwoods to create detailed marquetry. Hardware typically comprised small brass ring handles or turn-buttons, mounted alongside iron mortise locks.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut timber veneers, fine saw marks on unseen surfaces, and natural shrinkage lines along glue joints. The marquetry displays natural colour variations across the wood species, accompanied by a genuine aged patina and period-appropriate interior joinery like hand-planed back panels.

A matching pair of rosewood cupboards can flank a modern upholstered bedhead to balance proportion and introduce warm timber tones to a bedroom. Alternatively, these compact cabinets function effectively as side tables on either side of a sofa or as accent storage in a hallway.

Maintain the finish by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the furniture away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent the timber veneers from lifting, cracking, or fading.
