Why Hawkins Antiques?

Description

Overview

A fine quality 19th century French two-tier étagère in richly figured plum pudding mahogany, dating to circa 1870. The two generously sized tiers, elegant cabriole legs with gilt bronze mounts, and four pull-out slides combine to create a piece of exceptional decorative quality and practical versatility.

Key Features

  • French, circa 1870
  • Richly figured plum pudding mahogany throughout
  • Two generously sized tiers with beautifully polished surfaces
  • Elegant cabriole legs with finely cast gilt bronze mounts
  • Four pull-out slides extending from the lower tier
  • Delicate ormolu detailing to the apron and legs
  • Warm patina developed over time - exceptional colour and depth

Craftsmanship & Detail

The mahogany displays exceptional colour, depth, and grain throughout — the characteristic figuring of the finest plum pudding mahogany shifting in tone as the light moves across the surfaces. The four pull-out slides extend smoothly from the lower tier, providing additional practical surface space while retaining excellent overall proportions. The finely cast gilt bronze mounts to the cabriole legs and delicate ormolu detailing to the apron add a layer of French decorative refinement entirely characteristic of the period. An ideal occasional table, centre table, or serving piece for a refined interior, equally suited to period homes or sophisticated contemporary settings.

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!!!

Dan Sails

Bought a William Tillman table and chairs. We are absolutely thrilled with the purchase and the company was very understanding when we were having trouble with moving dates. They were extremely helpful and understanding. Items came well packed and dropped off by two nice chaps who moved everything into the house for us without any hassle at all. Absolutely no trouble in recommending Hawkins Antiques. Would give more than 5*
