Marquetry Nesting Table Set of 4 - Black Frame - Model 2

Design Inspiration

Rooted in the grandeur of the French Empire period, this round corner table embodies the triumphal spirit of Neoclassical design. The laurel wreath marquetry crowning the tabletop is a direct homage to Napoleonic iconography, while the acanthus-leaf friezes encircling the apron echo the opulence of early 19th-century Parisian ateliers. Every proportion has been studied from period originals to deliver authentic historical resonance in a contemporary interior.

Materials & Finish

The circular top is veneered in richly figured burr wood, inlaid with contrasting light wood to form concentric banding and a central laurel wreath motif. The apron features heavily carved acanthus friezes finished in genuine gold leaf, punctuated by bevelled burr-wood cartouche panels. Four tapered, ebonised solid-wood legs rise from swept stretchers in ivory lacquer, each column adorned with full gold leaf acanthus capitals and sabots for a truly regal silhouette.

Craftsmanship

Every element of this table is hand-produced in the Brass & Wood workshops in Egypt, where master craftsmen combine traditional European joinery techniques with meticulous hand-carving and gilding. The marquetry is cut and laid by hand, ensuring no two pieces are ever identical. Multiple layers of hand-applied lacquer protect the surfaces while preserving the warmth and depth of the natural wood grain.
