{"product_id":"louis-xvi-neoclassical-round-side-table-carved-off-white-marble-top","title":"Louis XVI Neoclassical Round Side Table — Carved Off-White Frame with Marble Top","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Inspiration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a quiet authority to this round side table that announces itself the moment it enters a room. The slender fluted legs, the rope-twist apron carved in the round, the cool weight of the marble top sitting perfectly flush within its frame — every detail speaks the disciplined language of Louis XVI Neoclassicism. Where the Rococo of Louis XV reveled in asymmetric curves, the Louis XVI period (1760–1800) was a deliberate correction: symmetry, straight lines, classical Greek and Roman references, and ornament placed with intention rather than abundance. This table is a faithful interpretation of that discipline, crafted to honor the legacy of one of France's most architecturally precise decorative periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is constructed from solid pine with a humidity level below 10%, providing the structural stability that fine carved work demands. The off-white painted finish is layered over a hand-prepared gesso ground, then selectively antiqued with gilded highlighting — particularly in the carved rope-twist frieze and the petal-like egg-and-dart molding that encircles the apron. Each of the four legs is individually hand-fluted, tapering to a turned spigot foot — a hallmark of the period's debt to Greek column forms. At the junction of leg and apron, a square rosette block anchors the composition visually and structurally. The circular top is set with a genuine cream marble slab whose subtle veining catches light differently at each hour of the day, lending the table a quiet vitality that painted surfaces cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiameter: 48 cm \/ Height: 65 cm\u003cbr\u003eThe proportions are calibrated for use as a side table beside a sofa or armchair, or as a stand-alone accent piece in an entry or bedroom. The marble top diameter of 48 cm provides sufficient surface for a lamp, a small tray, or a decorative object, while the 65 cm height aligns comfortably with standard seating arm heights. This piece is made to order; please allow 45–60 days for production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery element of this table — the frame joinery, the carving, the painted and antiqued finish, the marble setting — is executed by hand in our Egyptian atelier. Brass \u0026amp; Wood's craftsmen train in the European classical tradition, working from period reference drawings to reproduce the proportions and ornamental vocabulary that distinguished 18th-century Parisian cabinet-makers. The result is a piece that carries the weight of historical study without the fragility of an original antique, designed to be used and admired in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is this table made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is handcrafted from solid pine (less than 10% humidity), finished in an off-white painted and antiqued lacquer with gilded highlights.
