Why Hawkins Antiques?

Description

Overview

A refined antique French kingwood and mahogany vitrine display table dating from circa 1890, beautifully made in the Louis XVI Revival taste and richly decorated with finely cast gilt-bronze mounts.

The shaped top is inset with a large glazed panel and lifts to reveal a fitted display compartment beneath, making the table ideal for presenting jewellery, silver, porcelain, objets d’art or a carefully curated collection.

Craftsmanship & Detail

The frieze is particularly attractive, decorated with continuous floral garlands and ribboned swags in finely cast gilt bronze. Further decorative mounts appear at the shoulders of the legs, with narrow gilt-bronze ornament continuing vertically towards the feet.

The warm timber tones provide an elegant contrast with the aged gilt-metal decoration, while the shaped outline gives the table a softer and more decorative profile than a conventional rectangular vitrine.

The glazed top lifts to reveal the fitted interior compartment beneath, allowing prized objects to be displayed while remaining protected. This practical function, combined with its slender form, makes the table especially suitable for drawing rooms, bedrooms, hallways, dressing rooms or collectors’ interiors.

At just 58 cm wide and 32 cm deep, the table offers strong decorative presence without occupying excessive floor space.

Its combination of kingwood, mahogany, gilt-bronze decoration and glazed display storage gives this late-19th-century French piece enduring collector and interior-design appeal.

Delivery

Free UK mainland delivery is included.

This vitrine display table will be carefully prepared and delivered by our specialist furniture couriers.

Please ensure that doorways, staircases, hallways and access routes are suitable before purchasing, although the table’s compact proportions make it relatively easy to position within most interiors.

For delivery to Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Highlands or other remote areas, please contact us before purchasing for a quotation.

International shipping is available. We regularly ship antique furniture worldwide and can provide a tailored quotation on request.

Condition

Good antique condition overall, with age-related wear consistent with a French display table dating from circa 1890.

The timber retains an attractive warm colour and the decorative gilt-bronze mounts remain highly presentable throughout.

The hinged glazed top opens correctly and the fitted display compartment remains usable.

The table stands well and presents attractively overall. Please study the photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition report.

We bought a beautiful Georgian sideboard from Lee and it arrived within a couple of days, I was so impressed. It was all seamless and the delivery drivers were courteous and friendly too.
Very happy with the sideboard and is a lovely addition to our home.

I found Hawkin’s website when looking for an antique cabinet online. I found the perfect piece, ordered it and it had arrived a week later! Free shipping, great communication and 2 guys who carried it in the house and assembled it. Great service, I will be using again in the future. Thank you!

Purchased a beautiful 19th century French kingwood display cabinet from Hawkins Antiques. I am delighted with my purchase and would love to purchase from here again in the future! Lee provided excellent communication with very quick and thorough responses. Delivery was arranged extremely quickly and the delivery duo did a brilliant job up a narrow staircase, getting the cabinet into position safely and without issue. Highly recommend Lee and all at Hawkins Antiques!

Our house was built in 1820, so I have been slowly acquiring furniture from the same period. The piece is perfect & arrived very quickly too.

We purchased a table from Hawkins Antique and it is absolutely stunning and a mint condition! Delivery was very fast and the delivery team were fantastic and really went the extra mile to get the table into the house - it wasn't simple due to our narrow front door, but the guys managed to get it in, keeping the table safe along the way! Highly recommend - very happy! Made another purchase already!

We had purchased a walnut sideboard from this company. We are delighted with it and with the service. The sideboard - is in a very good condition, clean, as described and advertised. We found dealing with everyone in that company to be straight forward and helpful. I would not hesitate buying from them again! Highly recommended!!!
