Louis XVI Neoclassical Three-Tier Tea Trolley | Burl Wood & Gilt Brass

Design Inspiration

Rooted in the refined elegance of the Louis XVI era, this three-tier tea trolley embodies the Neoclassical ideals of symmetry, order, and restrained grandeur. Inspired by the sophisticated salon culture of 18th-century France, every proportion and ornamental detail recalls the celebrated ateliers of Versailles.

Materials & Finish

The body is constructed from premium solid wood veneered in richly figured burl, lending each surface a unique, swirling character. All mounts, gallery rails, corner escutcheons, and scrolled handles are cast in solid brass and finished in a warm antique gold, harmonising seamlessly with the warm amber tones of the burl veneer. The piece rolls gracefully on brass-capped casters.

Ornamental Detail

The apron of the central tier features continuous foliate and acanthus-scroll brass appliqués, while slender fluted columns crowned with brass capitals support the removable upper tray, which is framed by a delicate pierced gallery rail. Scrolled brass brackets cascade between tiers, adding rhythmic visual flow.

Craftsmanship by Brass & Wood

Every detail of this trolley is handcrafted in Egypt by Brass & Wood master artisans who blend centuries-old European joinery traditions with meticulous hand-chasing of every brass element. The result is a heirloom-quality piece that elevates any drawing room, dining room, or luxury hospitality setting.
