Neoclassical Mahogany Marquetry Dining Set
At OE-FASHION Furniture, we view the dining table as a study in radial geometry and veneer sequencing. The Neoclassical Mahogany Marquetry Dining Set is engineered to provide a high-impact visual centrepiece for luxury dining rooms, combining the warmth of exotic timbers with the tectonic stability of a heavy-gauge pedestal system.
Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
The tabletop is defined by its “Sunburst” veneer layout, where triangular leaves of mahogany or rosewood radiate from the centre, creating a dynamic optical effect. This radial field is bounded by a perimeter band featuring intricate floral marquetry in satinwood and maple. The base creates a sharp contrast; the tri-column support is finished in antique silver leaf, featuring heavy acanthus relief carving that anchors the visual mass of the table.
Construction Logic & Material Behaviour
The expansive round top requires a rigid substrate to prevent the veneer seams from opening. We utilise a dimensionally stable, high-density composite core that is vacuum-pressed with the veneer to ensure zero movement.
- Marquetry Engineering: The floral inlay is not surface-painted but laser-cut from contrasting timber veneers and set into the mahogany field. This ensures the pattern remains integral to the surface and cannot be worn away.
- Lazy Susan Mechanics: The integrated turntable operates on a concealed industrial aluminium bearing ring, ensuring silent, frictionless rotation even when loaded with heavy serving dishes.
- Base Stability: The three-column configuration sits on a weighted trefoil plinth. This geometry provides superior tipping resistance compared to single-column pedestals, distributing the load evenly across the floor.
Functional Integration & Suite Components
The accompanying chairs are engineered with a mahogany frame and gilt accents to match the table’s material palette. The upholstery is a heavy-weight jacquard, offering abrasion resistance suitable for daily use. The suite includes an optional Demilune Commode (as shown), featuring a marble top and a central “Urn and Floral” marquetry panel, providing auxiliary storage and serving space.
Installation & Project Constraints
The tabletop is a monolithic piece (unless split-top is specified) and weighs in excess of 120kg. Access verification is critical. The base plinth is detachable, but the wide diameter of the top requires careful navigation through corridors and elevators.
Bespoke Manufacturing (OEM / ODM)
OE-FASHION Furniture operates as a technical manufacturing partner for interior specifiers.
- Veneer Selection: The sunburst pattern can be executed in Walnut, Macassar Ebony, or Grey Sycamore.
- Base Finish: The silver leaf can be substituted for Champagne Gold or a timber stain to match the top.
- Commode Integration: The matching sideboard can be scaled to fit specific wall alcoves or dining room niches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Lazy Susan removable?
A: Yes. The turntable unit sits freely on the central bearing mechanism and can be lifted off for cleaning or if a flat table surface is required.
Q: How durable is the silver leaf on the base?
A: The metallic leaf is sealed with a clear protective lacquer to prevent oxidation (tarnishing). However, it should be protected from vacuum cleaner impact.
Q: What is the finish on the commode top?
A: The commode features a natural marble top (e.g., Emperor Dark or Nero Marquina), providing a heat and moisture-resistant surface for food service.
