Early 19th Century Mahogany Tricoteuse Occasional Table

About the Item

An Extremely Elegant Early 19th Century, French Empire Period, Mahogany Tricoteuse Type Occasional Table, Having Extremely Well Figured Rectangular Galleried Top, Over One Drawer To Frieze With Later Brass Knobs, Raised On Elegant Lyre Design End Supports And Four Sabre Legs United By Cross Stretcher With Brass Ball Feet. Tricoteuse is the French nickname for women who used to sit knitting whilst attending public executions during the French revolution and therefore it is natural that designs of table like this and similar which they used for making it easy to place their work without the worry of a fall damaging it is commonly known as a tricoteuse table. These tables can generally be found in a very wide range of sizes, qualities and wood finishes and this particular example is one of the better quality, nicer ones you will find. Of course from a modern day living, practical perspective this makes a perfect little lamp table, or occasional table, with a nice steady top that can be used for placing items on with a lessened risk of them being knocked over, whilst also retaining real elegance and sophistication. The quality of construction is good with nice decorative mahogany veneers in place which have aged nicely and now boast a good rich colour. The brass lyre ends are a nice touch and elevate the piece above many others. The brass knobs to the drawer are later additions but sit well on the table and overall the condition is very good with just a few old blemishes which have now blended into the surface as one would expect on an item of this age. As with all items which we offer for sale this table has been inspected by and attended to in our workshops by our highly skilled, trained antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish before being placed on sale to ensure it is in its best possible condition and ready for immediate placement within the home.

Located in Bedfordshire, GB
A delightful 19th century occasional lamp, or wine table, with well figured amboyna circular top and ormolu moulding raised on three elegant ebonized and inlaid turned supports, terminating with triform plateau and elegant sabre feet. Although victorian in date this table draws on a variety of different stylistic features, from a range of different periods. The use of beautiful amboyna veneers, set against ebonised mouldings is very much a 19th century feature however, the contrast created providing both a boldness and elegance all in one. This little occasional table is constructed from excellent timbers and when taking into account the overall quality of construction as well it is clear that it was produced in one of the top cabinet makers workshops of the time.
