The renowned designer Paul Mathieu chose the name "Louise" when he created his more feminine version of Louis XV's (1730–1760) furniture. The characteristic cabriole leg, curving outward at the knee and inward towards the foot in an "S" shape, was born during this period. It is during the same era that English furniture makers produced Queen Anne and Chippendale styles.

This elegant piece is handmade from solid teak, which is joined to form a clean and elegant outline. Our master craftsmen carve the floral forms, which are meticulously encased in tight-fitting metal skin. The curved legs and side rails of this exceptionally elegant table are hand-carved from solid pieces of teak. Pattern makers trace and cut complex forms that will cover the table in thick sheets of copper or silver. Once the table is joined together, it is meticulously encased in a tight-fitting skin of copper or purest silver. The silver used was assayed at 96% purity, exceeding the minimum sterling standard of 92.5%. Brass, White Bronze, Antiqued Bronze, Silver, and Copper are the available options for the metal skin. Both silver and copper will tarnish over time. Regular non-abrasive household metal polishes can be used to restore the original finish.

Please note that moisture in air, sudden change in temperature and natural movement of wood over time causes the metal to wrinkle or bubble up. We use well seasoned, reclaimed teak and high quality marine grade MDF (wherever technically possible) to avoid and delay the above mentioned changes. However a perfect stability of metal cannot be guaranteed.

Please note that our smooth finish metal clad pieces will have some unavoidable tool marks. This is proof that everything is done by hand. The smooth finish will not come out like a machine made perfect surface and the master artisan will do their best to make it look as good/clean/stable/perfect as he possibly can.

Our hammered finishes are a much safer option if the tool mark scratches are unacceptable. The hammered finishes are also safer against eventual bubbling/wrinkles due to natural forces as mentioned above.

We would love to send you some samples before order confirmation so that the finish can be judged and experienced first hand.
