The Louise Floral Credenza in Medium Hammered Brass is a collaboration between Paul Mathieu and Stephanie Odegard. Paul Mathieu designed the Louise form with its cabriole legs and serpentine front; Stephanie Odegard developed the floral carving, drawn from the painted motifs of Rajasthan's palaces. In Medium Hammered Brass, both are present on the same piece. The carved botanical surface covers the front, sides, and top; the Medium Hammered Brass cladding follows the relief; four cupboard doors and three central drawers are set within the serpentine front.The teak is carved to the full floral pattern before Medium Hammered Brass metal is hand-fitted to every surface. The relief is preserved by working the metal carefully into the carved forms. Flush-set nails secure the metal at every seam. Cabriole legs are clad in Medium Hammered Brass on the full S-curve. Interior: teak veneer with adjustable shelves.Measures 80 by 18 by 33 inches. Four cupboard sections with adjustable shelves and three central drawers. Works as a credenza, sideboard, buffet, or dining storage piece. Available in medium hammered finish across all four metals. Custom sizing available. Made entirely to order.The Louise Floral Credenza is a collaboration between Paul Mathieu and Stephanie Odegard for the Stephanie Odegard Collection, combining the two signature elements of the collection on a single piece. Produced in Udaipur by artisan workshops whose skills in wood carving and hand-applied metalwork 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 Medium Hammered 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.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.
