Louis XVI Neoclassical Two-Tier Tea Trolley – Mahogany & Ormolu Brass

Royal Elegance Reimagined

Inspired by the refined court furniture of eighteenth-century Versailles, this two-tier tea trolley captures the essence of Louis XVI Neoclassical design. Its gracefully tapered legs, ormolu acanthus column caps, and delicate swag-and-ribbon brass friezes speak the formal language of ancien régime luxury — brought to life today by the artisans of Brass & Wood.

Exceptional Materials

The body is constructed from solid mahogany, finished in a deep, luminous burgundy that highlights the wood's natural grain. The oval top tier features a removable tray with a pierced brass gallery border, inlaid with exquisite floral marquetry. Scrolling ormolu brass supports connect both tiers with organic, foliate flourishes that are cast and hand-chased to museum-grade precision.

Gilded Brass Ornamentation

Every brass element — from the acanthus corner mounts and swag frieze panels to the scrolled tray supports and brass caster feet — is cast in solid brass and finished in warm antique gold. The hand-applied gilding is polished to achieve the distinctive warm lustre of authentic French ormolu.

Masterful Craftsmanship

Each piece is individually handcrafted in Egypt by Brass & Wood's skilled artisans using time-honoured joinery and hand-finishing techniques. The result is a fully functional tea trolley that serves as a statement centrepiece in any classical or transitional interior.
