About This Object
A fine quality pair of lacquered brass low tables or etageres, hand-made to display four exquisite floral marquetry panneaux.
Frames English, third quarter of the 20th century, panels Dutch, 19th century.
Why we like them
Evoking the elegant Regency and Directoire campaign-inspired furniture, these very chic little tables are both decorative and useful, perfect as coffee or cocktail tables or even bedside stands.
Unlike most industrially-produced examples, these tables are meticulously handcrafted from solid brass, each tier individually sized to fit the beautiful 19th century Dutch marquetry panels.
The London firm Mallett was known for making best quality tables to this design, often repurposing historic material to a striking effect so that each pair would be individual.
