Rare, Fine Quality Early 19thc French Empire Mahogany Centre Table with Marble Top, Stamped 'Jacob'

19th century
Description

A rare and fine quality early 19th century (circa 1815) French Empire mahogany centre table with marble top with Egyptian influences of oblong form, stamped 'JACOB'.

This table consists of an off white marble top of oblong form supported on a mahogany base, the top of the base stamped 'JACOB' - we are not able to find proof this table is by Jacob but the style of the table would certainly fall into the period of his furniture.

The base consists of a superbly carved frieze of stylised anthemion with square panels to each corner with carved star decoration.

This leads down to the fine quality supports, each being reeded with carved lattice work decoration with carved lotus leaf design to both the top and bottom, these supports leading down to a decorative base with carved stars below the supports and scrolling acanthus decoration with carved paterae.

The base all joined with a central moulded stretcher with carved star decoration to the top with harebell and foliate carved decoration terminating with turned ball feet.

This table consists of Egyptian influences and carved decoration similar to those found on pieces by Henri Jacob (1753-1824) who was cousin of the famous cabinetmaker, Georges Jacob - as mentioned we cannot authenticate the stamp 'JACOB' as being genuine or not but the table is certainly of excellent quality and was made by a fine maker.

This table is in very good condition for age, is of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

Please note: the bronze displayed on the table is not included in the price.

This early 19th-century French Empire centre table is constructed from dark brown mahogany and white marble. The oblong marble top sits above a carved palmette frieze with rosette corners and a stamped 'JACOB' mark on the woodwork. Four fluted columns with lattice work and lotus leaf carvings support the structure, resting upon a central moulded stretcher base featuring carved stars, harebell and foliate decoration, and scrolling acanthus scroll feet with turned ball feet. The piece measures 76.25 cm high, 110.5 cm wide, and 70 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this table serves as a central statement piece in a hallway, library, or drawing room. It provides a flat display surface for decorative items or books while introducing classical French styling to the interior. The stable construction allows for immediate placement in living spaces.

FAQs

French Empire furniture, originating in the early 19th century, is defined by Neoclassical symmetry, architectural proportions, and design motifs inspired by ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian decorative arts.

Craftsmen typically utilised high-grade mahogany veneers or solid mahogany, often paired with polished marble tops, brass or gilt-bronze fittings, and hand-carved wood details.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut joinery, era-appropriate timber shrinkage, thick mahogany cuts, hand-tooled undersides on marble slabs, and occasional maker stamps such as JACOB.

This style of table functions effectively as a anchor piece in a large foyer, hallway, or drawing room, complemented by contemporary ceramics, sculptural glass, or modern artwork to contrast its classical carving.

Wood elements should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and polished periodically with natural beeswax, while marble surfaces require cleaning with pH-neutral stone cleaners to protect against etching and staining.
