FAQs

The serpentine style features a distinct undulating front line characterised by a convex centre flanked by concave curves, popular in high-end cabinet making during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These pieces typically utilized a carcase of oak or pine, veneered with exotic woods such as kingwood, tulipwood, or mahogany, and topped with shaped slab marble and cast bronze or brass mounts.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional wood movement allowances, hand-chased or cast ormolu mounts, and natural wear patterns consistent with age on the marble and timber surfaces.

Position the piece as a focal point in a living room or hallway, paired with contemporary abstract art above or kept minimally styled to highlight the intricate wood grain and marble top.

Maintain the piece by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth, applying microcrystalline wax sparingly to the wood, and using coasters or mats to protect the porous marble surface from acids and moisture.
