Hand-Painted Gilded Sideboard – Engineering Specification Overview
Engineering Logic
The engineering intent is to address Hygroscopic Swell within this Hand-Painted Gilded Sideboard typology.
This is achieved through the integration of the OE-Core™ Cross-Laminated Substrate, which operates by mechanically locking the fibre orientation of the large door panels to prevent dimensional shift beneath the gold leaf.
Review our protocol for controlling moisture-induced expansion in complex finishes.
As a result, the risk of surface cracking and door binding is mitigated under Saline Humidity.
Crucially, this structural stability is engineered into the core matrix to limit degradation without primary reliance on environmental climate control.
Hand-Painted Gilded Sideboard – Aesthetic Structure
Designed as a controlled study of proportion and material behaviour, the Hand-Painted Gilded Sideboard maintains architectural discipline.
The integration of organic painted motifs onto a rigid, metallic architectural form creates a tension between nature and structure. The continuity of the floral narrative across the door gaps requires precise hinge calibration to ensure the image reads as a unified whole when closed.

Project-Specific Interpretation
The engineering intent is to address Hygroscopic Swell specifically for the Hand-Painted Gilded Sideboard in a Coastal Villa context.
This is achieved through the OE-Core™ Cross-Laminated Substrate, which operates by buffering the internal matrix against the high ambient moisture typical of seaside properties.
As a result, the risk of gilding delamination is mitigated under the influence of Saline Humidity.
Construction & Material Behaviour
For this Hand-Painted Gilded Sideboard, the selected Marine-Grade Plywood Core is bonded to a core engineered specifically for commercial stability.
- Substrate Stack: Hydro-resistant bonded layers form the door cores, ensuring they remain perfectly flat to preserve the alignment of the painted artwork.
- Finish System: Traditional bole and gold leaf application, sealed with a specific barrier coat to prevent oxidation from salt air.
- Artistic Application: Floral motifs are hand-painted using oil pigments with high elasticity, allowing micro-flexibility without cracking.
- Load Behaviour: The carved solid wood base is structurally isolated from the case body to allow for differential settlement without stressing the joinery.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: No. This documentation defines an engineering framework. Final form, detailing, and tolerances are confirmed during the bespoke specification phase.
Q: Is this suitable for Coastal Villa environments?
A: Yes. The system is specifically calibrated to counteract Hygroscopic Swell forces common in these settings.
Q: How durable is the hand-painted surface?
A: The artwork is protected by a clear, non-yellowing architectural lacquer, tested to resist standard abrasion and accidental spills common in dining service areas.
Q: Can dimensions be modified?
A: Yes. All frames are built to order, allowing for millimetre-perfect calibration.
