What are French inlay tea tables used for?

These tables function primarily as decorative surfaces for sitting rooms, occasional display, or playing card games. Historically, they provided both a functional tabletop and an ornate statement piece reflecting the refined taste of the period.

How do I identify Louis XV style?

Louis XV style pieces are characterised by flowing curved lines, cabriole legs, and asymmetrical floral or rococo ornamentation. They emphasise organic shapes over strict symmetry, often featuring subtle ormolu mounts and marquetry.

What is the difference between marquetry and parquetry?

Marquetry involves cutting various wood veneers into pictorial motifs such as flowers, ribbons, or landscapes. Parquetry uses regular geometric shapes, like squares and triangles, to construct repeating patterns across the timber surface.

How should I care for an inlaid table?

Keep wooden tables away from direct sunlight and steady heat sources to protect the delicate veneers and natural timber. Dust gently with a dry cloth and avoid excessive moisture or chemical polishes that might damage the antique finish.
