Exemplary Pair of 19th Century Neoclassical Bronze Tables C. 1860

19th century
Description

The finest quality pair of mid 19th century French Neoclassical solid bronze side tables with winged female Herm supports and very finely executed swag and garland detailing circling the aprons.

Both tables retaining their original deep Rosso Antico marble tops in excellent condition, each with a carved and stepped border in the solid.

Four Hermes support each table top, with finely detailed wings and individual expressive faces, their hair tied back in ribbons below bronze head dresses, bare chested over a cabriole sciapod leg with single large foot. In Greek mythology these represent a combination of the winged Goddess Iris and the beast sciapod.

Extremely heavy and well made, in the Napoleonic Greco style and with a couple of very old bronze welded repairs, the principal to one sciapod legs on one table which is noticeable only on very close inspection.

An absolutely stunning pair of very fine bronze tables made in c. 1860.

It is extremely rare to find a true pair such tables in this superb original condition and retaining their original marble circular tops without breaks or chips.

Excellent colour and patina to the bronze and beautiful reds, golds and whites to the natural marble tops. The quality throughout is exemplary. Very strongly recommended.

Dimensions are:

25 inches high, 27 inches diameter at the tops and a maximum diameter of 36 inches at the widest point of the bronze Herm supports.

Date of Manufacture

Webberley Antiques has dated these Neoclassical Bronze Side Tables to the 19th Century.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 19TH CENTURY:
Cast bronze with verdigris in recesses: undisturbed oxidisation from long exposure to air.
Rubbed high points revealing pale bronze beneath dark patina: decades of handling.
Rosso marble tops with stepped edge profiles: 19th-century lapidary work.
Winged herm supports and classical swags: typical of French Second Empire taste.

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.

These mid nineteenth-century side tables follow a Neoclassical design inspired by the Napoleonic Greco style. Each piece pairs a circular red marble top with dark bronze tripod legs, featuring winged female Herm supports, floral swags along the aprons, and monopodia feet. The solid Rosso Antico marble surfaces display natural variations of red, gold, and white, complemented by the patinated bronze frames. Each table stands 64 cm high, with a top diameter of 69 cm and a maximum bronze span of 91 cm. These heavy bronze tables suit placement at the end of a sofa in a formal reception room or library. The design incorporates four winged caryatids with ribbons in their hair, expressive faces, and headdresses above cabriole sciapod legs resting on individual rectangular feet. Careful inspection reveals a couple of very old bronze welded repairs on the leg supports, matching the original patination and construction.

Neoclassical table design draws inspiration from classical antiquity, incorporating Greco-Roman symmetry, balanced architectural proportions, and mythical motifs such as caryatids, sphinxes, and floral festoons.

Furniture from this period commonly combines cast or patinated bronze bases with polished natural marble or porphyry tops, supported by iron or brass structural frames.

Authentic pieces feature hand-chased casting details, signs of natural surface oxidisation, hand-cut threaded iron screws, and heavy cast metal construction underneath decorative elements.

These tables work well when positioned as flanking accent pieces beside modern upholstery, within an entryway alcove, or alongside minimalist seating to provide historical contrast.

Dust bronze bases regularly using a soft dry brush, and surface clean the marble tops with a pH-neutral stone cleaner to prevent chemical etching or surface damage.
