Neoclassical Ivory Lacquer Dining Table
At OE-FASHION Furniture, we engineer the dining experience around the mechanics of hospitality. The Neoclassical Ivory Lacquer Dining Table is developed for grand dining rooms where service flow is paramount. The design merges the durability of modern polyester finishing with the decorative lexicon of the Neoclassical style, creating a surface that is both operational and ornamental.
Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
The table is defined by its luminosity. The surface is finished in a multi-coat Ivory Polyester (PE) Lacquer, polished to a “Piano Finish” that reflects ambient lighting. The tabletop features a radial “Gold Scroll” motif, sealed beneath the clear coat to prevent tactile interruption. The apron is detailed with a textured metallic band (simulating hammered silver or crystal mesh), bounded by gilded mouldings that frame the structural edge.
Construction Logic & Material Behaviour
To support the rotating mechanism and the substantial diameter, the substrate requires absolute rigidity.
- Pedestal Engineering: The base utilises a “Bulbous Urn” geometry, heavily weighted at the bottom to lower the centre of gravity. This spherical form features vertical gold ribbing (fluting), which reinforces the compressive strength of the column.
- Lazy Susan Mechanics: The turntable rotates on a heavy-duty industrial aluminium bearing ring (silent operation). It is sized proportionally to the main table (typically 55-60% of total diameter) to ensure reachable plate depth for diners.
- Surface Hardness: The polyester finish is cured to a hardness of 9H on the pencil scale. This provides superior resistance to heat rings and micro-scratches compared to standard polyurethane, essential for active dining environments.
Functional Integration
The inclusion of the Lazy Susan transforms the table into a self-service station, ideal for multi-course meals or family-style service. The mechanism is flush-aligned or slightly raised (depending on specification) to prevent debris ingress. The central pedestal design eliminates perimeter leg interference, allowing for flexible chair placement and maximizing legroom.
Installation & Project Constraints
The tabletop is delivered as a single monolithic disc (unless a split-top is engineered for restricted access). The base is separate. Assembly requires precise alignment of the bearing mechanism. The total unit weight exceeds 120kg; structural floor verification is recommended for timber-joist subfloors.
Bespoke Manufacturing (OEM / ODM)
OE-FASHION Furniture serves as a technical manufacturing partner for architects and specifiers.
- Pattern Customisation: The tabletop scroll pattern can be replaced with a Greek Key border, a family crest, or left plain ivory.
- Finish Swaps: The ivory lacquer can be substituted for Pearl White, Champagne Metallic, or Ebonised Black.
- Turntable Options: Can be motorised with remote control operation for high-end hospitality projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Lazy Susan removable for cleaning?
A: Yes, the glass or timber turntable top lifts off the bearing mechanism for maintenance.
Q: Can I put hot dishes directly on the lacquer?
A: Polyester lacquer is heat resistant up to approx 80°C, but we strictly recommend using trivets or chargers to prevent thermal shock or discoloration over time.
Q: How does the gold detailing on the base perform against shoe scuffs?
A: The base plinth is protected by a clear hardened coat. However, constant abrasion from shoes can dull the finish, so we recommend a protective metal kickplate if heavy use is anticipated.
