Louis XV Console Table – Marquetry Top & Gilded Bronze Mounts

Design Inspiration

Rooted in the golden age of French decorative arts, this console table embodies the graceful exuberance of the Louis XV period. Sinuous lines, asymmetric floral inlays, and lavish gilded bronze ornaments echo the finest ébénisterie traditions of 18th-century Versailles, reinterpreted by Brass & Wood's master craftsmen for contemporary interiors.

Materials & Finish

The generous rectangular top is dressed in an intricate multi-wood marquetry panel depicting scrolling acanthus foliage and a central floral medallion. The solid hardwood frame is finished in a rich mahogany tone, while the apron panels receive a hand-applied ivory lacquer that highlights the gilded ormolu mounts — cast in solid brass and hand-chased to capture every floral and foliate detail. Sabots in gilded brass protect the slender cabriole legs.

Craftsmanship

Every element is hand-assembled at the Brass & Wood atelier in Egypt by artisans trained in classical European joinery. The marquetry veneers are cut and laid individually; the brass castings are finished by hand-filing and burnishing to a warm antique-gold tone. Mortise-and-tenon joinery ensures structural integrity worthy of heirloom furniture.
