Pair antique Dutch marquetry corner lamp tables

An elegant and unusual pair of 18th century marquetry inlaid corner tables, richly decorated with finely executed floral marquetry incorporating classical urns, scrolling foliage and exotic birds.

 

Each table retains its pierced brass gallery above a matching pierced frieze and stands on three elegant tapering legs. Unlike many examples, the decoration continues around all exposed sides, allowing them to be displayed either against a wall or free-standing within a room.

The warm honey-coloured timber and intricate marquetry combine to create a particularly decorative pair, equally suited to use as occasional tables, lamp tables or hall furniture.

 

DIMENSIONS

Height: 76.5cm

Width: 54cm

Depth: 38cm

 

CONDITION

These tables display the honest wear expected from furniture approaching 250 years old. There are age-related marks, knocks and surface scratches together with some minor losses to the marquetry. The pierced brass galleries have small breaks, minor losses and areas where they have lifted slightly from the timber supports.

 

One of the square floral paterae to the top has been replaced with a plain timber section, and part of one carved sunflower ornament is missing. Despite these historic imperfections, both tables remain structurally sound with attractive colour and patina.

    ABOUT ALSO ANTIQUES

    ​

    Thank you for viewing this piece from ALSO Antiques.

     

    We carefully select antique furniture and decorative objects for their quality, craftsmanship, character and individuality. Our tastes are broad, and we’re happy to be led by the piece rather than a particular period or style. Above all, we choose things we genuinely admire and would be happy to have in our own home.

     

    Every item is individually inspected, researched and professionally photographed, with clear descriptions and honest condition reports to help you buy with confidence.

     

    We believe good furniture should have a long life. Choosing antique keeps well-made furniture and existing materials in use, and we favour sympathetic restoration that preserves the patina and character acquired over generations.

     

    VIEWING

    Viewing is welcome by appointment at our premises in North Yorkshire, close to the Lancashire border. If there is anything you would like to know before purchasing, we are always happy to answer questions, provide additional photographs or check particular measurements.

    AUTHENTICITY & CONDITION

     

    We strive to describe every item as accurately and honestly as possible. Statements regarding age, attribution, origin and provenance are offered in good faith and represent our professional opinion based on the information available at the time of listing.

     

    As all of our items are antique or vintage, signs of age and use should be expected. Old repairs, knocks, wear, variations in colour and other minor imperfections are often part of a piece’s history and character. Where condition affects its integrity, appearance or usefulness, we will endeavour to make this clear in the description.
