The Louise Floral Credenza in Medium Hammered White Bronze has six cabriole legs, a serpentine front, four cupboard doors, and three central drawers, all covered in a dense botanical relief in Medium Hammered White Bronze metal. The Fleur de Lis-style floral carving covers the full front, sides, and top; the Medium Hammered White Bronze cladding follows the carved surface, pressing into the relief to preserve the pattern. At 80 inches wide and 33 inches tall, the piece carries the carved surface and the Louise form simultaneously.
The teak is carved to the floral pattern before Medium Hammered White Bronze metal is hand-fitted to each surface. The metal follows the carved relief precisely, preserving the depth of the carving beneath the Medium Hammered White Bronze surface. Flush-set nails secure the metal at every seam. Cabriole legs are clad in Medium Hammered White Bronze on the full S-curve. Interior: teak veneer, adjustable shelves.
Measures 80 by 18 by 33 inches. Four cupboard sections with adjustable shelves and three central drawers. Works as a credenza, buffet, sideboard, or dining storage unit. Available in medium hammered finish across all four metals. Custom sizing available. Made entirely to order.
The Louise Floral Credenza was created in collaboration by Paul Mathieu and Stephanie Odegard for the Stephanie Odegard Collection. Paul Mathieu designed the Louise form; Stephanie Odegard developed the floral surface from the painted palace motifs of Rajasthan. Produced in Udaipur.
Made to order, each piece may show slight variations that are a natural result of handmade metal-clad production. The Medium Hammered White Bronze surface will gradually mellow in tone over time, which is part of the material's natural character.
The images shown in this listing may be photographed in different lighting conditions or may include 3D illustrations created to represent the available finishes. We warmly encourage customers to request an individual sample or a complete sample set of all twelve finishes to experience the surface, tone, and character firsthand.
Please note that moisture in the air, seasonal climate shifts, and the natural movement of wood over time may cause the metal surface to develop slight wrinkles or occasional bubbling. We use well-seasoned reclaimed teak and high-quality marine-grade MDF wherever technically possible to minimise these natural effects, but complete stability of metal cannot be guaranteed.
None of our metal-clad pieces are sealed with a permanent protective coating. This allows the metal to age naturally and beautifully over time. We polish every piece carefully before packing. A clear PU coat can be applied on request.
The antiqued white bronze finish will react with natural elements the fastest in the beginning, but it too will stop reacting and settle into a stable state like copper after 6-12 months. Since it is already antiqued and looks intentionally tarnished, this early reaction does not change the overall appearance. In that way, this surface is the most forgiving.
The antiqued white bronze finish is done by applying an acidic chemical over the white bronze to recreate a natural patination. Like the aging of silver, copper, or brass, the final result and colour uniformity cannot be guaranteed. The goal of this finish is to achieve rainbow-like tones with dull, shiny, cloudy, and lightly streaked patches to give an illusion of antiquing.
As a default practice, we offer a protective wipe-on PU coat only on this finish. If a designer prefers the natural, uncoated aging, we can leave it untreated just like the other finishes. A PU coat helps keep the surface looking the same as when shipped, but it does not create a fully uniform patina; natural variation will always remain part of this finish.
