Design Inspiration
Inspired by the refined court furniture of late 18th-century Versailles, this tea trolley captures the ordered grace of the Louis XVI Neoclassical period. Symmetrical floral marquetry panels bloom across the upper tray surface, framed by a pierced brass gallery that references the elaborate metalwork of royal ébénistes such as Jean-Henri Riesener.
Materials & Finish
Crafted from solid mahogany with burr-wood veneered lower shelf, the piece is enriched with hand-applied ormolu mounts in an antique gold finish. Draped swag friezes, acanthus corner rosettes, and fluted tapered legs capped with brass sabots unite to create a silhouette of aristocratic refinement. Smooth-rolling brass caster wheels provide effortless mobility.
Marquetry Artistry
Each inlay is individually hand-cut and fitted by Brass & Wood craftsmen in Egypt, using traditional techniques that honour centuries of European cabinet-making heritage.
A Timeless Statement
Whether stationed in a grand salon, a private library, or a luxurious bedroom suite, this tea trolley transforms every serving ritual into a ceremonial moment worthy of Versailles.
