About the Item

The Louise Demi Semainier in Smooth Brass is a three-drawer chest on cabriole legs with a carved floral surface that covers every exterior face in Smooth Brass metal. The relief is pressed into the wood before the Smooth Brass cladding is applied, the metal following the carved forms so the floral pattern reads through the surface. The piece is 30 inches tall and 24 inches wide. Three drawers open on smooth runners with curved metal pulls. The wood is carved to the floral pattern before Smooth Brass metal sheets are hand-fitted over each surface. The carving is deep enough to read through the metal cladding, the relief preserved by careful fitting that works the metal into the carved forms without flattening them. Flush-set nails secure the metal at the seam lines. Measures 24 by 16 by 30 inches. Three drawers with curved metal pulls. Available in all twelve standard finishes. Works as a chest of drawers, bedside cabinet, dresser, or accent piece. Custom sizing available. Made entirely to order. Designed by Paul Mathieu for Stephanie Odegard Collection. The Louise Demi Semainier takes its name from the French semainier chest tradition and its formal language from the Louis XV period, combining both with a carved floral surface that comes from the decorative craft tradition of Rajasthan's artisan workshops. Produced in Udaipur. Made to order, each piece may show slight variations that are a natural result of handmade metal-clad production. The Smooth Brass 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. All smooth finishes will show subtle tool marks. These are not defects but a natural and unavoidable result of hand-working and hand-polishing metal sheets. Our hammered finishes are recommended where a more textured, forgiving surface is preferred. 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.
