This 1900 French Louis XV Revival side table is constructed from warm brown walnut veneer, fruitwood, and ormolu. The rectangular top displays intricate floral marquetry inlay, accented by decorative ormolu corner mounts and a brass edge moulding. A single frieze drawer features lighter wood marquetry scrollwork and a small central knob handle. The piece stands on four slender cabriole legs fitted with chased ormolu mounts along the shoulders. Practical dimensions measure 73 cm high, 54 cm wide, and 39 cm deep. Placed at the end of a sofa or beside a bed, this side table serves as a functional and decorative surface in a living room, hallway, or bedroom. The polished timber surface highlights natural grain variations, while the curved apron echoes traditional continental styling. Cleaned and polished to maintain its finish, the table integrates smoothly into period or traditional interiors as a compact display or accent piece.

FAQs

French Louis XV style furniture is recognised by its curvilinear forms, cabriole legs, fluid Rococo ornamentation, and intricate wood veneers or floral marquetry patterns.

These tables were typically constructed with hardwood frames finished in rich walnut or kingwood veneers, featuring intricate marquetry inlays made from contrasting fruitwoods and decorated with cast brass or bronze ormolu mounts.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut joinery, thin timber veneers showing natural age-related movement, cast brass ormolu accents attached with original slotted screws, and genuine patination on the interior drawer casing.

Position the piece as an accent table beside an upholstered armchair or within an entryway, allowing its detailed floral inlay and polished wood tones to contrast against neutral modern walls.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid placing the furniture in direct sunlight or near radiators to prevent veneer lifting, and apply beeswax polish occasionally to nourish the wood surface.
