What is a bijouterie table used for?

A bijouterie table was traditionally used by Victorian hostesses to display visiting cards, miniatures, small snuff boxes, and precious trinkets beneath protective glass. Today, these tables serve the same decorative function, allowing collectors to exhibit small antique items securely while keeping them dust free.

How do I tell Louis XV and Louis XVI styles apart?

Louis XV revival pieces feature asymmetrical curves, flowing rococo scrolls, and naturalistic floral motifs without rigid geometry. Louis XVI style shifts towards neoclassical symmetry, incorporating straight tapered legs, fluted columns, and classical geometric proportions.

Are the glass tops usually original?

Many surviving tables retain their original thick bevelled glass panes, which often show minor surface scratches consistent with age and genuine use. Replacement glass is occasionally fitted during restoration work, though older replacement panes still exhibit traditional manufacturing imperfections like slight waviness.

How should I care for the velvet lining?

The internal velvet lining should be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the rich pile colours over the decades. Gentle suction using a low-power vacuum attachment through a mesh screen helps remove dust accumulation without disturbing the delicate fabric base.
