High-Gloss Marquetry Dining Suite: Italian Baroque

Bespoke High-Gloss Marquetry Dining Suite

At OE-FASHION Furniture, design is an exercise in restraint and precision. The Bespoke High-Gloss Marquetry Dining Suite is constructed to offer a lasting foundation of formal dining, balancing the technical complexity of wood inlay with the structural grandeur of Baroque carving.

Aesthetic Overview & Proportions

This ensemble is defined by its elaborate surface treatment. The dining table features a shaped rectangular top with serpentine ends, acting as a canvas for extensive floral marquetry. Contrasting veneers of maple and fruitwood are set into a dark walnut burl ground to create detailed botanical motifs. The structure is supported by twin baluster pedestals, heavily carved with acanthus leaves and finished in antique gold leaf. The accompanying chairs feature a shield-back silhouette with a pierced crest rail, upholstered in a dark jacquard that anchors the rich chromatic range of the wood.

Technical Craftsmanship & Materiality

The tabletop is the result of intricate marquetry techniques; individual veneer pieces are laser-cut and hand-assembled before being bonded to a stabilised core. The surface is sealed under a thick layer of polyester lacquer, polished to a “piano finish” which protects the delicate inlay work from oxidation and moisture. The base pedestals are constructed from solid hardwood, sculpted to provide a wide centre of gravity for stability. The chair frames utilise reinforced mortise and tenon joinery, with cabriole legs that echo the curvature of the table base.

• Surface Logic: Multi-layer lacquer provides a depth of field that magnifies the wood grain.
• Inlay Specification: Hand-matched veneers ensuring symmetrical floral patterns.
• Gilding: Water-gilded accents on the pedestal feet and chair crests.

Interior Curation & Spatial Integration

To maximise the visual impact of the Bespoke High-Gloss Marquetry Dining Suite, we recommend positioning it in a room with controlled lighting. The mirror-like surface of the table will reflect overhead chandeliers, creating a dual layer of illumination. This design is best suited to interiors with rich, dark wall treatments (as shown in the context image) or classic wainscoting, where the gold accents can provide necessary contrast. A matching display vitrine (available separately) completes the architectural perimeter.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Q: Is the marquetry protected from spills?
    A: Yes. The high-gloss polyester lacquer creates a hermetic seal over the veneer inlay, making the surface impervious to liquids and easy to clean with a damp cloth.

• • Q: Can the gold accents be Silver instead?
    A: Yes. We can apply Silver Leaf or Platinum Leaf to the carved elements of the base and chairs for a cooler tonal aesthetic.

• • Q: Does the table require assembly?
    A: Yes. The tabletop is shipped in a separate crate from the two pedestal bases to ensure safety during transit. On-site assembly involves securing the top to the pedestals via a steel sub-frame.

• Q: What is the lead time for this specific inlay work?
  A: Due to the complexity of the hand-assembled marquetry, production typically requires 60-75 days to ensure the veneer and lacquer have cured properly before export.
