The delicate floral marquetry crowning the tabletop — rendered in contrasting wood veneers — recalls the celebrated ébéniste workshops of Versailles, where nature and geometry were woven into a single, harmonious surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe table is constructed from solid mahogany, chosen for its warm reddish-brown tone and exceptional structural integrity. Every decorative element — the draped swag friezes, the acanthus-leaf corner mounts, and the rosette drawer pulls — is hand-carved and finished in rich antique gold leaf, lending a luminous warmth that deepens with age. The legs are classically fluted and tapered, terminating in polished brass sabots that anchor the piece with quiet authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrass \u0026amp; Wood artisans in Egypt employ traditional European joinery techniques passed down through generations. Each piece of marquetry veneer is individually cut, fitted, and hand-polished. The gilt carvings are applied using time-honoured gilding processes to ensure depth, durability, and an authentically aged patina that no machine-made reproduction can replicate.\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":49186338963707,"sku":"TABTEA8352","price":38947.0,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/0563\/7883\/files\/louis-xvi-neoclassical-tea-table-marquetry-gilt-carvings-front-view.png?v=1786878640","url":"https:\/\/brassandwood.co\/en-uk\/products\/louis-xvi-neoclassical-tea-table-marquetry-gilt-carvings","provider":"Brass \u0026 Wood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
