Description
Design & Inspiration
There are tables that serve a room, and then there are tables that command it. This Louis XVI Neoclassical round centre table belongs firmly in the second category. The moment it enters a space, the eye is drawn to it — not by a single element, but by the total composition: the warm fire of the gold-leaf finish, the deep mineral blue of the pierced apron panels, and the rhythmic procession of eight slender fluted legs rising toward a gilded frieze of egg-and-dart moulding. It evokes the grands salons of late 18th-century Versailles, where symmetry and classical restraint were the highest expressions of royal taste.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The table is constructed from Romanian solid redwood (moisture content below 10%), hand-carved and finished in a deep antiqued gold leaf — each surface worked to catch light at different angles, giving the piece its characteristic luminosity. The apron is the centrepiece of the design: a pierced blue-painted surround, carved with repeating Neoclassical cartouche motifs, acanthus scrolls, and laurel swags — all hallmarks of the Louis XVI decorative vocabulary. The under-structure features a cruciform stretcher centred on a tall sculpted urn finial, flanked by four smaller twin-handled amphora figures — a direct reference to the Greco-Roman antiquity that defined the Louis XVI aesthetic. The glass top rests within a precision-cut gilded surround edged with bead moulding.
Dimensions & Details
The round form ensures the table reads equally from all sides — an important quality for a piece placed at the heart of a salon arrangement. Eight tapered, fluted legs are set at regular intervals around the circumference, each topped with a carved acanthus capital and terminating in a small turned bun foot. The glass top surface is clear and flush with the gilded rim, protecting the carved apron while allowing its detail to remain fully visible. Dimensions are available upon request through Brass & Wood's customisation service.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Every element of this table — from the hand-carved urn finial to the individually shaped acanthus leaves on each leg capital — is produced by Brass & Wood's master craftsmen in Egypt, drawing on a tradition of European furniture reproduction that combines precision joinery with hand-applied gilding techniques. The blue apron panels are hand-painted and hand-pierced, ensuring that no two tables are identical. This is not mass production; it is a faithful interpretation of French royal cabinetry, made to last.
