Neoclassical White Lacquer Dining Table
At OE-FASHION Furniture, surface planarity and structural integrity are paramount when executing large-span tables. The Neoclassical White Lacquer Dining Table is designed to support formal dining requirements while acting as a canvas for artisan-grade marquetry. This unit is specifically calibrated for luxury dining rooms requiring a departure from traditional timber aesthetics without sacrificing grandeur.
Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
The table utilises a double-pedestal configuration, positioning two volumetric cylinders beneath the cantilevered top. This architectural decision eliminates corner legs, maximising knee clearance and allowing for flexible seating arrangements along the table’s perimeter. The white volume is framed by gold-leaf stepping, defining the edges against the surrounding interior palette.
Construction Logic & Material Behaviour
The tabletop is constructed from a reinforced honeycomb aluminium and MDF matrix. This composite substrate is critical for preventing the hairline fractures that can occur in high-gloss lacquer due to thermal expansion in solid wood cores.
- Inlay Technique: The floral scrollwork is not painted but inlaid using laser-cut Mother of Pearl and brass sheeting. This ensures the ornamentation is integral to the surface depth, not merely superficial.
- Surface Technology: We apply a polyester-based “Piano Finish” lacquer, cured to achieve a hardness rating capable of withstanding standard tableware friction. Learn more about our finishing protocols and maintenance standards.
- Load Distribution: The cylindrical bases are weighted internally with steel ballast plates to lower the centre of gravity, preventing lateral movement during use.
Functional Integration & Ergonomics
The 760mm height is optimised for standard dining chairs with armrests, ensuring clearance for the apron rail. The central pedestals are inset by 450mm from the table ends, providing ample legroom for the heads of the table.
Installation & Project Constraints
Due to the monolithic nature of the top, site access must be verified for spans exceeding 2400mm. The table is delivered in three primary modules (two bases, one top) and requires mechanical assembly on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the gold finish durable against cleaning?
A: The gold leaf components are sealed under the final clear lacquer coat, protecting them from oxidation and cleaning abrasion.
Q: How do I maintain the high-gloss surface?
A: Use a non-abrasive microfibre cloth with water or a specific high-gloss polish. Avoid chemical solvents and direct heat sources.
Q: Can the inlay be removed or changed?
A: As a bespoke manufacturer, we can alter the inlay design during the CAD phase. Once fabricated, the inlay is permanent as it is embedded within the lacquer matrix.
