Louis XV Corner Table – Marquetry Top & Gilt Bronze Mounts

Design Inspiration

Evoking the splendour of the French royal court, this corner table is a faithful homage to the Louis XV Rococo tradition. Its serpentine silhouette, shaped apron, and exuberantly carved gilt-bronze ormolu mounts capture the playful elegance that defined eighteenth-century Versailles interiors. The shaped top with its concave corners adds a dynamic rhythm rarely found in modern reproductions.

Materials & Finish

The carcass is constructed from kiln-dried solid wood, providing structural integrity for generations of use. The tabletop is adorned with a masterfully executed marquetry panel — a symphony of figured veneers arranged in a medallion composition of scrolling foliage and floral motifs. All exposed edges are trimmed with a fine brass gallery rail, while the cabriole legs and apron are dressed in hand-chased, gilt-bronze ormolu mounts depicting acanthus leaves, rocaille cartouches, and torch finials. The warm, deep mahogany-toned finish completes the opulent palette.

Craftsmanship

Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans trained in classical European joinery and decorative arts. The marquetry is cut and laid by hand; the ormolu mounts are individually cast, chased, and gilded. Rigorous quality checks at every stage ensure that each table is a singular work of decorative art worthy of the finest interiors.
