This Edwardian Louis XVI Revival collectors vitrine and bijouterie table stands as a mahogany display cabinet with glazed panels, brass fittings, and a red velvet interior. The dark brown timber framework holds a glazed upper display space with hinged mirror backs, brass latch locks, and a detachable base enriched with gilt brass garland mounts, ormolu swags, and square tapered legs. Every component remains complete and in first-class condition for private collections or commercial use. Practical dimensions measure 91 cm high, 136 cm wide, and 62 cm deep. Placed in a drawing room, hallway, or study today, it provides an elegant focal point to exhibit small decorative objects, jewellery, and fine collectables under glass.

FAQs

A bijouterie table is a specialized form of occasional table crafted with glazed glass panels and a hinged or opening top. Originating in the 18th century and widely produced through the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was designed specifically to display and secure small valuables, pocket watches, and personal jewellery.

Traditional vitrines are constructed using high-quality hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, often accented with brass or gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts. The interior lining is typically made of velvet or silk to prevent scratching delicate items placed on display.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-finished joinery, naturally patinated metal mounts, and period glass that may feature slight wavy irregularities. The timber frame shows subtle wear around handling points, and locks or hinges reflect historic metalwork techniques.

A vitrine functions as a focal point in hallways, living areas, or dressing rooms. It provides dust-free containment for curated collections, medals, or trinkets while offering a refined contrast to modern clean-lined furniture.

Glass panels should be cleaned with non-ammonia cleaner applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly on the frame. Timber surfaces require periodic conditioning with natural beeswax polish, while metal mounts should be dusted gently without abrasive polishes that could strip the original finish.
