A late 19th Century French flame mahogany card table - AA1936

A late 19th Century French flame mahogany card table – AA1936

A late 19th Century French flame mahogany card table.

The single flame moulded top, unfolding to a card playing table, having a decorative book-matched veneered frieze, on a well turned support column, resting on three outswept legs, with acanthus leaf carvings to the knees.

Note: Not my usual stock, you’ll notice the photograph. You’ll then notice this card table surrounded by entire family, from around 1900.

Fantastic to hang above to create a perfect conversation piece.

Forever changing the surroundings in my apartment. The latest change, replacing the Italian Murano glass retro penguins, for the 19th century Chinese Bronze Foo Dog Lion Figures.
Interestingly, everyone I’ve asked prefers the Murano Penguins.

The final photo is from Russell Winnell, when he photographed my apartment a couple of years ago. I wrote a story for a magazine to accompany the photos, however I’ve made so many bold changes, I can’t give those photos to print, so must get Russell back!

Being terribly overstocked, (but not complaining) I’ve taken this walnut entrance table to my apartment to create more shop space and over decorate my entrance!

My usual entrance pieces are also quite out of my usual style, but having a retro 1970 built apartment, I wanted something different from the interior at the door.
Not my usual style or periods, but had to have these unique pieces✨✨

Rare 19th century French solid kingwood 'whatnot'

Rare 19th century French solid kingwood ‘whatnot’

This rare 19th century French solid kingwood whatnot is certainly a work of cabinetmaker, leader of Japonism, Gabriel Viardot (1830-1904).

It is surmounted by a varnished polished bronze dragon that is frequently found in the cabinetmaker’s production.

The lower part also has shelves whose upright is decorated with a wrapped dragon in varnished polished bronze.
