Art Deco Solid Wood TV Console with Cantilevered Top & Centre Drawer
Categories:
Design & Inspiration
There is an architectural confidence to this TV console that immediately sets it apart. The wide cantilevered top — suspended over the central storage body on two vertical side panels — recalls the geometric discipline of Art Deco design at its most composed: horizontal planes held in deliberate tension, with no unnecessary ornament to distract from the purity of the form. Where most media units resort to closed cabinetry or cluttered shelving, this piece offers restraint: a single open niche for your receiver or display objects, flanked by low platform extensions that anchor the piece visually to the floor. The result is a console that feels both grounded and weightless at once.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Constructed from Romanian solid redwood seasoned to below 10% humidity — a standard that ensures dimensional stability through Egypt's varied climate — the piece is finished in a warm honey oak lacquer that reveals the natural grain in long, clean ribbons across the top surface. The lacquered finish provides durable protection while maintaining the wood's warmth rather than masking it. A single central drawer, fitted with a square brass pull in a brushed gold finish, introduces the only metal accent in an otherwise all-wood composition. That single hardware element is chosen deliberately: a brass square in the Art Deco tradition, referencing the period's love of geometric punctuation in warm metal.
Dimensions & Details
The cantilevered top extends beyond the central cabinet on both sides, creating generous display surface flanking the main body. The low-profile platform base runs the full width, keeping the visual centre of gravity close to the floor — ideal for pairing with wall-mounted screens. The open central shelf is sized to accommodate standard AV receivers and media boxes, while the drawer below provides discreet storage for remotes, cables, and accessories. Note that system dimensions are to be confirmed at order; contact Brass & Wood to specify your exact requirements.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Every piece leaving the Brass & Wood workshop is built by hand, using joinery techniques that prioritise long-term structural integrity. The vertical side panels are mortised into the base platform and the cantilevered top, creating a rigid H-frame structure without relying on concealed metal brackets. Surface grain lines are matched across panels where visible, reflecting the craftsman's attention to continuity of material. This is handcrafted Egyptian furniture made to a standard that holds across decades, not seasons.
