Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

FAQs

French buffets and servers with marble tops gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, evolving from functional dining room storage pieces into refined furniture items prized for their utility and stone surfaces.

These pieces typically feature a robust carcase constructed from secondary timbers such as oak or pine, finished with decorative wood veneers like mahogany or walnut, and topped with a heavy slab of polished natural marble.

Authenticity is determined by examining traditional joinery techniques, such as hand-cut dovetails in the drawers, the natural ageing and wear patterns of the wood veneer, and the presence of period-appropriate brass hardware and locks.

This piece works well as a grounding element in a dining room or living space, pairing effectively with modern minimalist decor, metallic accents, and ceramic lamps to balance the rich tones of the wood.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels to prevent wood cracking, using coasters on the marble surface to avoid acid etching, and periodically treating the timber with appropriate furniture wax.
