Louis XVI Neoclassical Tea Trolley – Mahogany & Gilt Brass Ormolu

Royal Inspiration: The Louis XVI Tea Trolley

Rooted in the refined elegance of 18th-century Versailles, this tea trolley channels the neoclassical spirit of the Louis XVI court. Symmetry, discipline, and ornamental grandeur define every detail — from the swag-and-tassel ormolu garlands draping the frieze to the pierced brass gallery crowning the top tray, a hallmark of French royal furniture-making.

Materials & Finish

Crafted from solid mahogany with a deep, hand-rubbed warm-toned finish, the trolley features two generous shelves — the upper fitted with a removable tray edged by a perforated brass balustrade. Ebonized fluted columns rise on tapered legs, each capped with polished gilt brass sabots and terminating in ornate brass caster feet. All ormolu mounts are individually cast in brass and hand-gilded to a warm antique gold.

Brass & Wood Craftsmanship

Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans trained in classical European joinery and metalwork traditions. The brass fittings are cast, chased, and finished by hand, ensuring each trolley carries its own subtle character. The result is a functional work of art that brings the atmosphere of a 19th-century Parisian salon into any contemporary interior.

A Statement of Timeless Luxury

Whether stationed in a grand drawing room, a private study, or beside a canopied bed, this tea trolley commands attention and elevates the ritual of serving with unmatched aristocratic grace.
