This early 19th-century Second Empire bouillotte table functions as an elegant side table or end of a sofa piece in a French chateau interior. Constructed in France around 1870, the table exhibits a warm brown mahogany timber finish complemented by an inset marble top and original gilded brass mounts throughout. The circular top is surrounded by a pierced brass gallery rail, while the frieze incorporates a single drawer fitted with a small central knob. The whole structure is raised on four fluted tapering legs terminating in toupie feet with brass hardware. Practical proportions measure 70 cm high by 60.5 cm wide, offering a functional surface for displaying decorative items or holding drinks in a modern living space.

FAQs

A bouillotte table is a circular accent table originating in 18th-century France, specifically created to play the popular card game of bouillotte. It traditionally features an inset marble top surrounded by a pierced brass gallery to prevent game counters and cards from sliding off.

Second Empire bouillotte tables are typically constructed from fine hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, fitted with an inset marble slab top and detailed with cast brass or ormolu mounts, galleries, and sabots.

Authentic 19th-century examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints on frieze drawers, naturally aged patina on gilt brass fittings, correct proportions with tapered fluted legs, and marble tops set flush within a metal gallery.

Due to its compact scale and circular shape, a bouillotte table serves well as an occasional side table beside a sofa or armchair, a nightstand in a bedroom, or an entryway table in a hallway.

Dust the wood framework regularly with a dry microfiber cloth, clean the marble top using only pH-neutral stone cleaner, and avoid polishing the brass gallery to preserve its historical oxidisation and patina.
