The sweeping oval form — a hallmark of early 19th-century salon furniture — is crowned by a radiant burl-wood surface evoking the richly grained pieces favoured by the French Imperial court. At its centre, a delicate ivory-inlaid laurel wreath pays homage to the classical Roman symbolism that defined the Empire aesthetic, framed by double stringing lines in pale wood for perfect geometric balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tabletop is veneered in matched burl walnut, hand-polished to a deep mirror lacquer that amplifies the wood's dramatic figuring. The apron is adorned with a continuous cast-brass ormolu frieze of anthemion and palmette motifs, finished in 24-karat gold leaf by Brass \u0026amp; Wood artisans. Ebonised solid-wood legs taper elegantly to acanthus-leaf brass caps, while square gilt-bronze cartouche mounts anchor each leg head to the apron with architectural precision. A curved stretcher in ebonised wood unifies the base, its understated form balancing the opulence above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery element of this table is handcrafted in the Brass \u0026amp; Wood atelier in Egypt. Marquetry cutters shape each ivory-toned inlay by hand; brass founders cast and chase every ormolu mount individually; and gilders apply gold leaf in successive layers before burnishing to the characteristic Empire brilliance. The result is a piece indistinguishable from a museum-quality 19th-century original.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eN\/A\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brass \u0026 Wood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49186339651835,"sku":"TABTEA6367","price":42816.9,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/0563\/7883\/files\/empire-oval-coffee-table-burl-wood-marquetry-gilt-bronze-front-view.png?v=1786878694","url":"https:\/\/brassandwood.co\/en-sa\/products\/empire-oval-coffee-table-burl-wood-marquetry-gilt-bronze","provider":"Brass \u0026 Wood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
