🇫🇷 A Fine French Vernis Martin Commode, c.1880–1890

An exceptional piece of late 19th-century French furniture, combining beautifully figured kingwood, extensive gilt-bronze mounts and a shaped breccia marble top.

The highlight is undoubtedly the large Vernis Martin style fête galante scene, extending across both drawers to create an almost uninterrupted painted composition across the front.

The elegant bombé form, serpentine lines and cabriole legs are characteristic of the Louis XV Revival, making this a superb statement piece for either a traditional interior or as a contrast within a contemporary setting.

French, c.1880–1890
Height: 90cm | Width: 100cm | Depth: 54cm

✨ NEW ARRIVAL | French Louis XVI Revival Bedroom Suite, c.1900

A truly impressive find - a complete French Louis XVI Revival three-piece bedroom suite dating from circa 1900.

Comprising a magnificent double mirrored wardrobe, matching bed and bedside cupboard, the entire suite is beautifully decorated with parquetry veneers, gilt-metal floral wreaths, ribbon motifs, swags and classical mounts.

What makes this particularly special is that the three matching pieces have remained together. Complete antique bedroom suites of this scale and decorative quality are becoming increasingly difficult to source.

The wardrobe alone stands an imposing 240cm high, with two full-length mirrored doors and generous internal storage, while the matching bed creates a spectacular centrepiece.

A wonderful opportunity for anyone looking to create a bedroom with genuine character rather than something mass-produced.

📏 Wardrobe: H240 × W134 × D56 cm
📏 Bed: H162 × W160 × L212 cm
📏 Bedside Cupboard: H86 × W40 × D40 cm

A Fine Pair of Burr Walnut Side Cabinets c.1870

An exceptionally decorative true pair of Victorian side cabinets, combining richly figured burr walnut with painted porcelain plaques, fine inlay and gilt-metal detailing.

The doors have been particularly well composed, using the dramatic natural figuring of the burr walnut to create a strong symmetrical pattern. At the centre of each is an oval porcelain plaque painted with classical figures and surrounded by a striking blue border.

Each cabinet opens to reveal a shelved interior lined in deep red fabric, making them practical as well as highly decorative.

Finding a genuine matching pair of nineteenth-century cabinets is considerably more difficult than sourcing a single example, and these would look superb positioned either side of a fireplace, doorway, console or large mirror.

Dating from circa 1870.

✨ **New Arrival | Arts & Crafts Oak Sideboard c.1900**

A superb piece of turn-of-the-century British design.

Dating from around **1900**, this substantial Arts & Crafts sideboard is constructed in beautifully figured oak and combines the honest craftsmanship of the Arts & Crafts movement with the flowing natural forms of emerging **Art Nouveau design**.

French Kingwood & Ormolu Writing Table c.1900

A particularly elegant antique French kingwood writing table, dating from the late 19th century and beautifully executed in the Louis XVI Revival taste.

The craftsmanship becomes apparent the closer you look.

At the centre is a wonderful ormolu plaque depicting playful classical putti, with further floral mounts, beaded borders and gilt-bronze detailing continuing down the slender fluted legs.

Perhaps one of its best features is its size. At just 89 cm wide, it has all the decorative presence of a fine French writing desk without requiring a large room.

The full-width frieze also opens to reveal a generous drawer, making this an exceptionally versatile piece for use as a writing table, dressing table or decorative console.

♟️ A Beautiful Marriage of Furniture & Game

A particularly attractive Regency Style Maple & Ebony Inlaid Chess Games Table, combining striking figured timber with elegant classical proportions.

The rectangular top incorporates a beautifully executed chessboard, surrounded by contrasting decorative inlay and banding. Below sits a useful central drawer for storing chess pieces or other gaming accessories.

What really gives this table its presence, however, is the superb figured maple. Its warm golden colouring and lively grain continue through the frieze and slender pedestal, terminating in an elegant swept quadriform base with decorative metal mounts.

Designed in the Regency tradition, it works equally well as a chess table, games table or highly decorative occasional table within a study, library, drawing room or living space.

A wonderful piece for someone who appreciates furniture that is both beautiful and functional.
