Louis XVI Marquetry Corner Table with Gilt Bronze Mounts

Design Inspiration

Rooted in the elegance of the Louis XVI era, this corner table draws from the neoclassical courts of 18th-century France. Its square top is adorned with a spectacular sunburst marquetry medallion — a hallmark of the finest Parisian ébénistes — surrounded by floral and scrollwork veneers that radiate warmth and refinement. The canted corners and gilded brass gallery edge lend architectural precision to a piece that is as sculptural as it is functional.

Materials & Finish

Constructed from solid mahogany, the table's tapered, fluted legs are finished in a deep rosewood-toned lacquer that deepens under ambient light. The apron is dressed with a continuous row of hand-chased gilt bronze medallion mounts depicting foliate motifs, set within interlocking rinceaux — a detail reserved for the most opulent commissions. Brass corner mounts and delicate sabots complete the ormolu suite, anchoring each leg with quiet grandeur.

Craftsmanship

Every element of this table is handcrafted in Egypt by the artisans of Brass & Wood, who employ centuries-old joinery and marquetry techniques alongside precision casting of the bronze mounts. The result is a piece that honours the legacy of the great French furniture workshops while being entirely made to order, ensuring no two tables are identical.
