{"product_id":"louis-xvi-neoclassical-ivory-gold-plant-stand-lyre-basket-cane-panels-entcac1300","title":"Louis XVI Neoclassical Ivory \u0026 Gold Plant Stand — Lyre Basket Cartouche with Cane-Weave Panels","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Inspiration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a specific kind of authority that a piece carries when every element has been deliberately chosen. This Louis XVI neoclassical plant stand — faithfully reproduced in the tradition of late 18th-century French decorative furniture — draws its visual language from the reign of Louis XVI: the discipline of symmetry, the elegance of classical ornament, and the harmony between ivory lacquer and burnished gold. Set in a room, it does not compete for attention; it simply occupies its corner with the quiet confidence of good breeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is constructed from Romanian solid redwood (under 10% humidity) — a dense, stable timber that accepts hand-carving with precision and holds gilded finishes without warping over time. The body is finished in a warm ivory lacquer, over which selected ornamental elements are water-gilded with gold leaf: the fluted tapered legs with their turned collar capitals, the egg-and-dart border running along the top rim, rosette medallions at the leg joints, and the corner pilaster strips. The side panels are inset with a fine diamond-weave cane mesh — a technique found in authentic Louis XVI guéridons and jardinières — framed within gilt moldings. A glass insert sits within the top frame, protecting whatever is placed inside while maintaining the refined silhouette from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top opening is generously proportioned to accommodate a planted vessel or decorative urn. Four slender fluted legs are joined by a gilt-accented H-stretcher at the base, providing structural stability while reinforcing the Neoclassical vocabulary of horizontal restraint. The central cartouche — the defining feature of this piece — presents a hand-carved lyre form draped with a cascading floral basket arrangement: roses, ribbons, and laurel leaves rendered in high-relief gold, directly referencing the Louis XVI decorative canon of nature formalized into ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plant stand is handcrafted in Egypt by Brass \u0026amp; Wood artisans trained in classical European joinery and gilding traditions. Each piece is finished individually — the gold leaf applied by hand, the cane panels fitted by eye, the cartouche carved before gilding. The result is a piece with the warmth of hand production and the consistency of practiced craft. Weight: 5 kg. Suitable for indoor use in living rooms, reception halls, hallways, and bedrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is this plant stand made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is Romanian solid redwood with an ivory lacquer finish and gold leaf gilding.
