Louis XVI Ivory & Gold Leaf Console Table with Cane Shelves & Floral Swags

Design Inspiration

This exquisite console table is a faithful interpretation of the Louis XVI Neoclassical style that flourished in late 18th-century France. Characterised by its graceful symmetry, restrained ornament, and refined elegance, the piece draws on the vocabulary of antiquity — laurel swags, rosettes, acanthus capitals, and fluted tapered legs — rendered with the meticulous artistry of Brass & Wood craftsmen in Egypt.

Materials & Finish

The frame is constructed from premium solid wood, hand-carved to reveal intricate floral garlands that cascade along the apron. The surface is finished in a warm ivory lacquer, with decorative elements gilded in genuine gold leaf to produce a luminous contrast. The table top is hand-painted with delicate botanical and scrollwork motifs in the tradition of French painted furniture. Two spacious shelves are woven in natural rattan cane, adding warmth and texture to the classical silhouette.

Craftsmanship

Every detail of this console is shaped by hand in the Brass & Wood atelier — from the deeply carved swag garlands and rosette corner blocks to the rope-twist stretchers and urn-shaped leg collars. Gold leaf gilding is applied by skilled artisans using traditional water-gilding techniques, ensuring a depth and richness that cannot be replicated by paint or spray finishes. The result is a piece that honours centuries of European decorative tradition while being built to endure.
