{"product_id":"louis-xv-rococo-ivory-lacquer-dressing-table-gilt-mirror","title":"Louis XV Rococo Ivory Lacquer Dressing Table with Shaped Gilt Mirror","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Inspiration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a particular quality of morning light that a room receives only when a well-placed mirror catches it and scatters it across cream-painted walls. This dressing table — faithfully reproduced in the tradition of Louis XV Rococo furniture — brings exactly that kind of considered luminosity into the bedroom. The shaped gilt mirror rises above a seven-drawer case in ivory lacquer, the whole ensemble forming a visual anchor that gives the room both its center of gravity and its most personal corner. This is not merely a place to arrange oneself before the day; it is a piece of furniture with enough presence to define the character of an entire room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe case is built from solid beech, kiln-dried for dimensional stability in changing climates. Over the wood, artisans have applied a hand-painted ivory lacquer finish — layered, rubbed, and burnished to achieve the soft depth that distinguishes a painted piece of quality from a merely decorated one. The gilded elements — the cabriole legs with their scroll feet, the acanthus-and-rocaille cartouche centered on the kneehole apron, the scrolled connecting bridge between mirror and table, and the scallop-shell crest of the mirror frame — are executed in antique gold gilding over hand-carved gesso profiles. Each carved detail is resolved by hand, with the C-scrolls and shell motifs carrying the asymmetric vitality that defines authentic Rococo ornament rather than its simplified modern interpretations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: 170 cm \/ Depth: 50 cm \/ Height: 180 cm\u003cbr\u003eThe seven drawers — two banks of three flanking a central shallow kneehole drawer — are fitted with circular brass ring pulls finished in antique bronze. The kneehole space is generously proportioned to accommodate a matching stool. The shaped mirror frame, with its scrolled lower extensions that meet the table surface, creates a unified architectural silhouette rather than a table with an unrelated mirror resting behind it. The mirror plate itself is clear and unaged, providing a practical reflective surface within the decorative frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery element of this dressing table is produced by hand in Brass \u0026amp; Wood's Egyptian workshops, where craftsmen trained in classical European joinery, carving, and gilding techniques produce furniture to exacting standards. The solid beech frame is mortise-and-tenon jointed; the gesso carved profiles are applied by hand before gilding; the ivory lacquer receives multiple coats with intermediate sanding. The result is a piece that honors the original intention of Louis XV furniture: that the daily ritual of the dressing table should feel like a private ceremony, conducted before an object worthy of the occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is this made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame and case are constructed from solid beech.
