This antique French Louis XVI style side cabinet dates to 1860 and provides a functional storage unit with a shelved interior. Constructed from warm brown kingwood, it features a shaped white marble top, crisp gilt-bronze ormolu mounts, and parquetry veneer arranged in geometric chevron patterns across the façade. The two door panels display oval central inlays decorated with floral marquetry vases, bordered by ornate scrolling bronze frames with detailed scrollwork feet at the base corners and an applied central lion-mask mount below. Measuring 102.5 cm high, 115 cm wide, and 50 cm deep, the cabinet works as a luxurious focal point in an entrance hall, sits beneath a large mirror or artwork, and operates as a statement piece in a formal living room or dining space. The design incorporates a serpentine front profile and refined proportions that suit traditional and Parisian-inspired interiors.

FAQs

Louis XVI furniture, originating in late 18th-century France, is characterised by rectilinear forms, classical proportions, neoclassical symmetry, and decorative elements inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity.

These pieces were typically constructed with hardwood frames, layered with fine exotic wood veneers such as kingwood, tulipwood, or walnut, topped with marble slabs, and dressed with chased gilt-bronze mounts.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-chased gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts with natural age oxidisation, original marble tops showing edge wear, and hand-cut wood veneer inlays.

Place the cabinet against a plain wall in an entryway, dining space, or drawing room, complementing its detailed woodwork with minimal, contemporary artwork or modern lighting above.

Dust wood surfaces regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth, protect veneer from direct sunlight and humidity changes, and clean marble tops strictly with pH-neutral stone cleaners.
