Design Inspiration
Rooted in the refined vocabulary of Louis XVI Neoclassicism, this tea table embodies the courtly sophistication of 18th-century France. The shaped oval top is adorned with a breathtaking floral marquetry composition — a central medallion of roses and blossoms radiating into scrolling vine tendrils — evoking the grandeur of Versailles. Every curve of the scalloped apron, every swag of the ormolu garlands, speaks of disciplined beauty and aristocratic grace.
Materials & Finish
Constructed from premium solid mahogany and exotic wood veneers, the table showcases hand-cut marquetry inlay in contrasting light and dark tones. Gilded ormolu mounts — cast and chased by hand — accent the corners, apron, and leg capitals with classical motifs including putti figures, laurel swags, and floral cartouches. The tapered, fluted legs terminate in brass sabots, adding a luminous finishing touch. All timber is kiln-dried and treated for lasting stability.
Craftsmanship
Each piece is painstakingly produced by Brass & Wood master craftsmen in Egypt, combining centuries-old European cabinetmaking traditions with meticulous hand-finishing. The marquetry veneer is individually cut and laid, ensuring no two tables are identical. Ormolu elements are precision-cast and hand-polished to achieve a warm antique-gold brilliance that deepens with age.
