Collection: Marble Top Furniture

A specialist collection of antique marble top furniture personally sourced and hand-picked by three generations of the Hawkins family since 1960. Browse French kingwood and ormolu-mounted commodes, vitrine cabinets, and side tables with rouge royale, breccia, and white marble surfaces — each piece individually selected from our Barry, South Wales showroom. Every piece of antique marble top furniture for sale in our collection is personally sourced and comes with free UK mainland delivery.

Predominantly 19th century French in origin, antique marble top furniture represents some of the finest decorative antique furniture available — combining the warmth of richly figured kingwood and tulipwood veneers with the cool elegance of naturally veined marble. The great French cabinet makers understood that marble and ormolu belonged together: the cold precision of the stone throwing the warmth of the gilded bronze into relief, the whole creating an effect of controlled opulence that defines the Louis XV and Louis XVI aesthetic at its peak.

The marble tops found on the finest pieces are themselves remarkable objects. Rouge royale — the deep burgundy-red Belgian marble streaked with white and gold — is among the most dramatic of all decorative stones. Breche d'Alep, with its warm ochre ground and angular white inclusions, brings a different character entirely. White statuary marble, used on the most formal pieces, carries an association with classical antiquity that the French cabinet makers exploited deliberately. Each variety has its own personality and its own history.
