King Charles X Foyer Table: Solid Wood, 24KT Gold Leaf Gilded – FT807

Under the direction of H.J. Nick, ArtFactory.com has painstakingly recreated this table using a 26-step process that ensures museum-quality results.

Shadow Sunburst Top & 20+ Hand-Rubbed Processes with cureing times

One of the most striking features of this table is its shadow sunburst top, a meticulously hand-finished pattern that radiates depth and dimension. To achieve this effect, ArtFactory.com’s master craftsmen apply over 20 layers of hand-rubbed finish, allowing the rich old-growth cherry wood to reach its full potential in beauty and durability.

This multi-step finishing technique enhances:

• The natural grain and depth of the cherry wood.
• The warm, radiant hues that give the table its heirloom-quality appearance.
• Long-lasting durability, ensuring the table will remain a masterpiece for generations.

The Charles X Drum Table is a remarkable example of early 19th-century French Gothic Revival furniture, designed for royal and aristocratic interiors. Originally created by Alphonse Giroux & Cie, a luxury furniture firm that catered to the French monarchy, this table showcases:

• An shadow sun burst circular top, crafted with precision and elegance.
• A structurally refined tripod base, inspired by Gothic architecture, featuring intricate arches and flying buttresses.
• A hidden frieze drawer, seamlessly integrated into the design for a touch of sophistication.

Charles X (1757–1836), who reigned as King of France from 1824 to 1830, was known for his patronage of the arts and appreciation for fine craftsmanship. His reign marked a period of exquisite furniture design, blending Neoclassical and Gothic influences, a combination that remains timeless and highly sought after.

Unlike modern reproductions, this solid wood foyer table is crafted entirely by hand using the same traditional methods that French master artisans employed in the 19th century.

• Hand-selected, full-length cherry wood, sourced from old-growth timber for superior strength and beauty.
• Genuine 24K gold leaf gilding, carefully applied to highlight the fine architectural details.
• Hand-rubbed finishes using time-honored wood finishing techniques.
• Mortise and tenon joinery, ensuring structural integrity that will last for centuries.
