Pieces like this were made for the specific 19th-century habit of bringing the garden indoors, holding a fern, an orchid, or a seasonal arrangement without risking the veneer beneath. The apron carries the piece visually, with its cube parquetry pattern, known to French cabinetmakers as point de Hongrie and to the English as tumbling blocks, creating an optical illusion that shifts the cubes forward and back as you look. Today the form is as useful as it ever was. The well and liner hold a season's arrangement or a small orchid, the top surface takes a drinks tray with room to spare, and the scale works quietly as a bedside piece in a room that wants something more considered than a nightstand. Small enough to slip beside a sofa or under a window, distinctive enough to earn the spot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 30 in H x 26 in W x 16 in D\u003cbr\u003e[d]Liner Interior | 4.5 in H x 21 in W x 10.5 in D\u003cbr\u003e[d]Finish | Later finish, method not established; surface has been polished at some point, likely mid-20th century\u003cbr\u003e[d]Primary Wood | Rosewood, with tulipwood and boxwood parquetry\u003cbr\u003e[d]Period | Late 19th century\u003cbr\u003e[d]Date | Circa 1890\u003cbr\u003e[d]Origin | France\u003cbr\u003e[d]Style | Louis XV Revival\u003cbr\u003e[d]Also Known As | jardinière\u003cbr\u003e[d]Secondary Wood | Mahogany (well lining)\u003cbr\u003e[d]Apron | Serpentine bombé form with shaped scalloped frieze, decorated with rosewood, tulipwood, and boxwood cube parquetry\u003cbr\u003e[d]Top | Kingwood with boxwood stringing and a brass ribbon molding framing the well\u003cbr\u003e[d]Well | Mahogany-lined, with a thin stamped brass ribbon molding around the rim\u003cbr\u003e[d]Liner | Zinc liner in the period style, a later replacement likely dating to the 20th century; painted black exterior with green interior, fitted with carrying handles on the short ends\u003cbr\u003e[d]Legs | Cabriole rosewood, in straight-grain veneer\u003cbr\u003e[d]Hardware | Brass sabots at all four feet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[condition]\u003cbr\u003eThe table is in good antique condition with honest wear consistent with age and use. The cube parquetry apron is clean and crisp on every face, with no lifting or loss to the veneers, and the serpentine apron and scalloped frieze are intact throughout. All four cabriole legs are straight and stable, and the brass sabots are present and secure. Old veneer stress and hairline splits are visible where the apron meets the legs. They are stable and consistent with more than a century of seasonal wood movement. A few stable hairline checks are also visible on the underside near the apron-to-leg joins, none affecting structural integrity. The mahogany-lined well has a small chip to the wood where the brass molding meets one corner, and faint water staining inside from its working life as a planter. The zinc liner is a later replacement, likely 20th century, made in the period style. It functions as intended. The black exterior has heavy paint loss, which is hidden inside the well and does not show in display. The green interior and side carrying handles are intact and stable. The surface has been polished at some point, likely mid-20th century, which gives it a warmer look than an untouched surface would have. Light surface wear throughout, consistent with over a century of handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51324694790422,"sku":"AMD-03073","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/DSA04717.jpg?v=1779990243","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-louis-xv-style-rosewood-planter-table","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
