Royal Elegance Reimagined
Inspired by the refined court furniture of 18th-century Versailles, this Brass & Wood tea trolley captures the spirit of the Louis XVI era — where Neoclassical symmetry met sumptuous ornamentation. The piece stands as a functional sculpture, equally at home in a grand salon or a contemporary luxury interior.
Exceptional Materials
The body is constructed from solid hardwood dressed in hand-selected burlwood veneer, celebrated for its swirling, one-of-a-kind grain patterns that give every trolley a unique character. Surfaces are finished to a deep, lustrous polish that reflects the warmth of the wood's natural auburn tones.
Antique-Brass Ormolu Mounts
Every decorative element — from the pierced gallery rail crowning the upper tray, to the draped-swag friezes, floral cartouches, and scrolled column capitals — is cast in solid brass and hand-finished in an antique gold patina, faithful to the original ormolu craftsmanship of 18th-century French ébénistes.
Three-Tier Functionality
The trolley presents three generous tiers: an upper gallery tray for display or service, a mid-level writing or serving surface framed by elegant brass-handled drawers, and a lower shelf ideal for storing linens or additional tableware. Brass swivel casters ensure effortless mobility across any floor surface.
