HISTORIC PROVENANCE
The Side Table Matthias is inspired by a pair of magnificently ornate British side tables (ca. 1740) thought to be influenced by an unfinished drawing by the designer and carver Matthias Lock (British, ca. 1710–ca. 1765). The Met’s tables, made from carved and gilded pine with a modern scagliola top of fine plaster, feature details such as large shell motifs, classical masks, lion’s paws, curling acanthus leaves, and a running Vitruvian scroll, typical of the British version of the French Rococo style. The Side Table Matthias is a celebration of the original design, crafted in an antiqued gold finish with an elegant green marble top.

How to care for wood veneer TEST
Veneer furniture is covered in a thin layer of real hardwood. Veneers are often used in high end furniture pieces and can be more costly than solid wood. Mid 20th century it became especially popular in interiors when teak wood was often used for Danish design furniture.
To fully enjoy your wood veneer furniture, please follow a few basic rules:
Cleaning and maintenance
Wood veneer requires gentle care to preserve the finish. Dust regularly and clean with a soft dry cloth.
Remove spills immediately as moisture can cause the veneer to peel off the surface. Prevent moisture from getting underneath the veneer by quickly and thoroughly cleaning up any spills. In case of water rings, rub the area with naphtha. Follow up with an application of oil or petroleum jelly to completely erase the mark.
