The Louise Console Table in Smooth Antiqued White Bronze is 60 inches wide at 18 inches deep: the right proportion for placement behind a sofa or along a corridor wall. The four hand-carved cabriole legs carry a top covered in Smooth Antiqued White Bronze metal, the geometric panel lines and flush-set nail heads of the top surface visible from any angle. The serpentine apron curves between the legs. The entire piece, legs, apron, and top, is in Smooth Antiqued White Bronze.
The teak structure is carved before Smooth Antiqued White Bronze metal sheets are pattern-cut and fitted by hand. The cabriole legs present the most demanding surface: the compound S-curve must be covered without buckle or visible join, the metal secured with flush-set nails once correctly positioned. The apron and top are fitted in sequence.
Measures 60 by 18 by 30.5 inches. Works as a sofa table, console table, entry table, or hall table. The shallow 18-inch depth clears most sofa backs comfortably. Available in all twelve standard finishes. Made entirely to order. Custom sizing available.
Designed by Paul Mathieu for Stephanie Odegard Collection. The Louise Console Table belongs to the same family as the Louise Card Table and Club Chair, sharing the same cabriole leg, the same hand-applied metal cladding, and the same Louis XV formal reference. Produced in Udaipur.
Made to order, each piece may show slight variations that are a natural result of handmade metal-clad production. The Smooth Antiqued 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.
