The Louise Console Table in Smooth White Bronze is 60 inches wide and 18 inches deep, the four cabriole legs carrying the piece on their S-curves with Smooth White Bronze metal covering legs, apron, and top without interruption. The geometric panel lines on the top surface, formed where the hand-applied metal sheets meet, give the long horizontal plane its surface detail. The serpentine apron curves between the four legs at 30.5 inches tall.
The teak legs are carved to the full cabriole profile before the metalwork begins. Pattern-makers cut each Smooth White Bronze metal sheet to fit its specific surface: the compound curves of the legs, the serpentine apron, and the flat panels of the top. Each is secured with flush-set nails and worked to the final character of the Smooth White Bronze finish by hand.
Measures 60 by 18 by 30.5 inches. Functions as a hall table, console table, sofa table, or entry table. The narrow depth suits entry halls, corridors, and placement behind sofas. Available in all twelve standard finishes. Made entirely to order. Custom sizing available.
Designed by Paul Mathieu for Stephanie Odegard Collection. The Louise series draws its name and spirit from the Louis XV period, specifically the cabriole leg that defined the period's furniture across France and, in the same broad era, produced Queen Anne and Chippendale furniture in England. Produced in Udaipur.
Made to order, each piece may show slight variations that are a natural result of handmade metal-clad production. The Smooth 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.
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.
