Neoclassical Black Lacquer Rectangular Dining Set
At OE-FASHION Furniture, we approach the formal dining room as a theatre of hospitality. The Neoclassical Black Lacquer Rectangular Dining Set is engineered to anchor this space with tectonic authority. By utilizing a double-pedestal configuration, the design eliminates perimeter legs, offering an uninterrupted span ideal for luxury dining environments accommodating 8 to 12 guests.
Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
The table elevation is defined by the contrast between the absolute density of the “Piano Black” surface and the rhythmic lightness of the gilded ornamentation. The table apron features a continuous egg-and-dart relief frieze, gilded in leaf to catch ambient chandelier lighting. The accompanying chairs echo this Neoclassical order, featuring square-profile legs with gilded collars and a crest rail that frames the sitter.
Construction Logic & Material Behaviour
To ensure the longevity of the high-gloss finish, the table substrate is constructed from a calibrated, double-refined MDF composite. This material selection is mandatory to prevent the “orange peel” effect or grain telegraphing that occurs with solid wood expansion.
- Finish Engineering: The surface is coated in 12 layers of polyester lacquer (PE), cured to a hardness superior to standard PU finishes, ensuring resistance to heat and micro-abrasions.
- Load Distribution: The twin pedestals are internally bolted to a steel sub-frame within the tabletop, ensuring the long span does not sag over decades of use.
- Upholstery: The chairs are upholstered in a high-tension Jacquard or Damask weave, applied over high-resilience foam (HR45) to maintain loft and shape retention.
Functional Integration & Ergonomics
The “Carver” (Armchair) variant features classic Empire-style scroll arms. The radius of the scroll is calculated to allow the user to rest their arms naturally without the chair becoming trapped under the table apron—a critical dimensional coordination check we perform during the bespoke manufacturing process. The tripod base design of the pedestals ensures that guests seated at the table “corners” do not straddle a table leg.
Installation & Project Constraints
The tabletop is delivered as a single monolithic piece or a split-top (joined on site) depending on service elevator dimensions. The total weight of a 2400mm unit exceeds 150kg; professional assembly is required to secure the top to the weighted pedestals.
Bespoke Manufacturing (OEM / ODM)
OE-FASHION Furniture serves as a technical partner for interior specifiers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maintenance protocol for the black lacquer?
A: Dust with a dry microfibre cloth. For fingerprints, use a damp cloth with a mild pH-neutral solution. Never use wax-based polishes which smear the high-gloss surface.
Q: Are the chairs stackable?
A: No. These are architectural joinery chairs with rigid mortise and tenon frames, designed for permanence and comfort, not stacking.
Q: Can the base colour be changed?
A: Yes. The plinth is shown in a contrasting dove grey/white, but can be finished in matching black or gold leaf depending on the floor finish contrast requirements.
