Description
Design & Inspiration
There are moments when a piece of furniture stops being furniture and becomes architecture. Set this column side table in the corner of a reception room or at the end of a hallway, and it does exactly that — the fluted shaft rises with the authority of a classical column, the octagonal base grounds it with quiet confidence, and the gilt brass laurel swags catch whatever light finds them. It is a piece drawn directly from the Louis XVI / Neoclassical vocabulary (1760–1800), the era when French designers turned away from Rococo exuberance and looked instead to the disciplined geometry of ancient Greece and Rome. The wreathed swags hanging from tied bows, the vertical fluting, the symmetrical ornamentation — each element is a deliberate reference to that classical world.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The column body and octagonal plinth are crafted from Romanian solid redwood (seasoned to under 10% humidity for dimensional stability) and finished in a smooth white lacquer that serves as the ideal ground for the gold-toned brass ornaments applied across the surface. The brass work — cast laurel-and-berry swag garlands, bow knots, acanthus corner mounts, and rope-twist border detailing on the plinth — is characteristic of the ormolu tradition that defined Louis XVI period furniture. A clear glass top panel protects the lacquered crown and adds a contemporary practicality without disrupting the period silhouette. Every ornament is individually applied by hand, and the white-to-gold contrast is as carefully considered as it would have been in an 18th-century Parisian atelier.
Dimensions & Details
Height: 49 cm | Width (base): 45 cm | Top: round glass panel | Base: octagonal solid wood plinth with brass corner mounts | Weight: 5.0 kg. The proportions are calibrated to function as a side table beside a bergère armchair or as a standalone decorative pedestal for a sculptural object or floral arrangement. The glass top has a gentle green tint visible at its edge — a characteristic detail of quality glass that adds a subtle material richness.
Handcrafted in Egypt
This table is handcrafted in Egypt by Brass & Wood artisans working in the tradition of European period furniture reproduction. The white lacquer finish is applied in multiple coats and hand-smoothed between layers. The brass ornamental mounts are cast and individually positioned. Each piece is inspected before dispatch, and customization — in finish color or ornament placement — is available on request. Delivery time is 30–45 days from order confirmation.
