English Victorian Rosewood Inlaid Bijouterie Table

A superb quality English Victorian Sheraton Revival rosewood, parquetry inlaid and brass mounted bijouterie table dating to circa 1880. The circular hinged top with rosewood and satinwood crossbanding with box and ebony stringing within a low brass gallery pierced with hearts. The rosewood veneered frieze with alternating bands of satinwood and rosewood within tulipwood crossbanding and box stringing, the slender square tapering legs similarly inlaid to all sides and with reeded brass capitals and terminating with brass caps and castors. The interior fitted with original VR lock and with original burgundy velvet lined interior. Comes with a working key.

This fine quality bijouterie table is in good condition throughout and being inlaid all the way around can be used as a centre table, there is some fading to some of the leg inlay mainly to the rear, and very slightly unevenness to the veneers none of which detracts from the overall look, the interior is worn & has spill marks but could easily be relined in a colour & material of choice.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
