Brass & Wood Louis XVI Ormolu-Mounted Buffet

Design & Inspiration

Rooted in the refined neoclassical vocabulary of Louis XVI cabinetry, this Brass & Wood buffet revives the grandeur of late 18th-century French court furniture. Symmetrical composition, draped garland mounts, and a shaped apron below the central doors reflect the restrained elegance that defined the period.

Materials & Finish

The carcass is built from solid wood and finished with book-matched burr veneer panels framed by crossbanding, lending each section a distinctive figural warmth. Legs, corner posts, and top rails are finished in a rich medium-to-dark lacquered tone with satin sheen. All hardware is hand-cast ormolu brass — garland swags, ribbon bows, fretwork friezes, floral cartouches, and tapered sabots — finished in antique gold.

Craftsmanship

Every mount is individually cast, chased, and gilded by hand at the Brass & Wood Cairo atelier. The hinged doors open on silent brass pivots to reveal two adjustable shelves per bay, with clean wood interiors. The upper drawer-width frieze band adds both structural definition and decorative continuity across the full piece.
