Louis XVI Neoclassical Tea Trolley | Mahogany & Antique Brass Ormolu

Royal Inspiration: The Louis XVI Tea Trolley

Inspired by the refined elegance of the French royal court, this tea trolley evokes the golden age of Neoclassical furniture. Its tiered silhouette, tapered fluted legs, and acanthus-leaf ormolu mounts reflect the disciplined grandeur that defined the Louis XVI era — a style that balanced opulence with architectural clarity.

Exceptional Materials

Crafted from select solid mahogany, each surface showcases a rich, deep grain finished to a warm gloss. The brass hardware — including the pierced gallery tray, ornamental side scrolls, and decorative drawer plaque — is cast in solid brass and finished in antique gold, replicating the authentic ormolu technique favoured by 18th-century French ébénistes. Delicate lion's-paw castors complete the piece with regal mobility.

Three-Tier Functionality

The trolley features a removable pierced brass gallery tray on the uppermost level, a generous mahogany serving surface with a pull-out drawer on the middle tier, and a lower parquetry shelf — delivering both ceremonial beauty and practical elegance in equal measure.

Brass & Wood Craftsmanship

Every detail of this trolley is handcrafted in Egypt by Brass & Wood master artisans, using time-honoured joinery and metal-casting traditions passed down through generations. Each piece is a singular work of decorative art — a worthy centrepiece for any distinguished interior.
