Louis XV Rococo Kidney-Shaped Open Etagere with Gilt Bronze Mounts

Royal French Inspiration

Echoing the opulent courts of 18th-century Versailles, this kidney-shaped etagere embodies the quintessential spirit of Louis XV Rococo design. Its graceful asymmetry, sinuous curves, and lavish ornamentation reflect the era's celebrated rejection of rigid formality in favour of organic elegance and refined luxury.

Exquisite Materials

Constructed from solid mahogany with a deep, hand-polished warm finish, the piece features a marquetry-inlaid top surface framed by a pierced gilt brass gallery. The interior shelves and back panels are dressed in rich gold damask fabric, woven with a delicate floral scroll pattern that adds depth and warmth to the open display space.

Gilt Bronze Ormolu Mounts

Every surface is enriched by hand-cast and hand-chased gilt bronze ormolu mounts — from the central acanthus cartouche crowning the arched interior to the foliate capitals adorning the fluted column pilasters. Sabots of gilded bronze protect and elevate the slender cabriole legs, completing a silhouette of refined grandeur.

Brass & Wood Craftsmanship

Each piece is entirely handcrafted in Egypt by Brass & Wood artisans trained in classical European joinery and bronze casting traditions, ensuring museum-quality construction with timeless aesthetic integrity.
