Bespoke Gilded Baroque Dining Table: Hand-Painted Banquet Suite

Bespoke Gilded Baroque Dining Table

At OE-FASHION Furniture, design is an exercise in restraint and precision. The Bespoke Gilded Baroque Dining Table is constructed to offer a lasting foundation of style, merging the structural authority of cabinetmaking with the decorative fluidity of fine art and textiles.

Aesthetic Overview & Proportions

This piece presents a heavy curvilinear silhouette rooted in the high Baroque tradition. The tabletop features a rectilinear perimeter with softened, radiused corners, sitting atop a monumental base defined by Cabriole-style legs. A distinctive architectural feature is the integrated textile element: a heavy gold velvet skirt with bullion fringe that drapes between the legs, creating a theatrical sense of enclosure. The apron is punctuated by a central oval cartouche containing a hand-painted scene of cherubs (putti), framed by deep-relief acanthus scrolling.

Technical Craftsmanship & Materiality

The tabletop is engineered using book-matched walnut veneers, applied over a stability-tested substrate to prevent warping. The surface is sealed with a multi-layer vitreous lacquer, hand-polished to a high-gloss mirror finish that amplifies ambient lighting. The structural frame is hand-carved from kiln-dried solid beech, gilded with 24ct gold leaf using traditional water-gilding techniques. The painted medallion is executed in oil by master artisans, sealed for durability.

• Structural Integrity: Reinforced sub-frame to support the veneer top and heavy ornamentation.
• Material Excellence: Commercial-grade velvet drapery with colour-fast bullion fringe.
• Artisan Finish: Hand-painted fine art integration and antique patina on gilding.

Interior Curation & Spatial Integration

To maximise the visual impact of the Bespoke Gilded Baroque Dining Table, we recommend positioning it beneath a significant crystal chandelier to reflect light off the lacquered surface. The table’s ornate detailing and textile skirting require a room with generous proportions and high ceilings (3000mm+). It pairs logically with the matching high-back chairs shown, or with antique boiserie wall panelling and Persian floor coverings.

OE-FASHION Interiors serves as your technical manufacturing partner.

1. Scalability: Adjust length to accommodate 8, 10, or 12 seat configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Q: How do I maintain the high-gloss walnut surface?
    A: The lacquer is durable but susceptible to heat and scratches. We recommend using felt-backed placemats and coasters at all times. Dust with a soft microfibre cloth; do not use chemical sprays.

• • Q: Can the fabric skirting be removed for cleaning?
    A: Yes. The velvet drapery is attached via a concealed Velcro or tack strip system on the inner apron, allowing it to be removed for professional dry cleaning if necessary.

• • Q: Is the painted medallion protected?
    A: Yes. The hand-painted artwork is sealed with a clear, non-yellowing varnish to protect the pigments from oxidation and accidental abrasion during cleaning.

• Q: How is this bespoke piece packaged for export?
  A: The tabletop is crated vertically in a custom timber frame with edge protection. The base sections are boxed separately, with the fabric elements removed and vacuum-sealed to prevent moisture damage during transit.
