The Fleur de Lis Credenza was designed by Paul Mathieu for Stephanie Odegard Collection as the credenza form of the Louise carved series. In Smooth Antiqued White Bronze, the Fleur de Lis pattern covers the full front, sides, and top: a dense repeating motif of heraldic lilies carved into solid teak and covered in Smooth Antiqued White Bronze metal, the cladding pressed into the relief to preserve the carving. Six cabriole legs carry the 78-inch serpentine front. Four cupboard doors and three central drawers complete the form.The teak is carved to the Fleur de Lis pattern before Smooth Antiqued White Bronze metal is pattern-cut and fitted by hand to every surface. The relief is preserved by working the metal carefully into the carved forms across the serpentine front and all other exterior surfaces. Each section is secured with flush-set nails. Interior: teak veneer, adjustable shelves.Measures 78 by 18 by 34 inches. Four cupboard sections with adjustable shelves and three central drawers. Functions as a credenza, sideboard, buffet, or dining storage piece. Available in smooth finish across all four metals. Custom sizing available. Made entirely to order.Designed by Paul Mathieu for Stephanie Odegard Collection. The Fleur de Lis Credenza is Paul Mathieu's Louise credenza form — the cabriole leg and serpentine front of the Louis XV tradition — covered in the heraldic lily carving that connects the Louise series to the decorative craft of Rajasthan's artisan workshops. Produced in Udaipur by artisan workshops whose skills have been in continuous practice for generations.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.
