The piece channels the opulence of Fontainebleau and the Tuileries Palace into a functional centrepiece for the modern luxury interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tabletop is finished in deep, mirror-like black lacquer edged with crisp ivory lacquer banding, while a hand-carved silver-leaf laurel wreath crowns its centre. The apron is crafted from solid wood and entirely covered in relief-carved anthemion and palmette motifs, finished with genuine gold leaf. The legs are turned in solid wood, alternating ebonised black sections with gold-leaf-gilded acanthus capitals and hairy-paw feet. The curved stretcher beneath is painted in ivory with ebonised accents, completing the tricolour Empire palette of black, white and gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery element of this table is shaped, carved and finished entirely by hand in the Brass \u0026amp; Wood atelier in Egypt. Master craftsmen apply multiple coats of lacquer, hand-burnished between each layer, before applying genuine gold leaf through traditional water-gilding and silver leaf through oil-gilding techniques. The result is a surface depth and warmth impossible to replicate by machine. Each piece is a unique, signed work of applied art.\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":49186338603259,"sku":"TABTEA6876","price":75789.0,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/0563\/7883\/files\/empire-neoclassical-coffee-table-black-lacquer-gold-leaf-carved-wood-front-view.png?v=1786878610","url":"https:\/\/brassandwood.co\/en-uk\/products\/empire-neoclassical-coffee-table-black-lacquer-gold-leaf-carved-wood","provider":"Brass \u0026 Wood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
