The Fleur de Lis Credenza in Smooth Copper is the Louise credenza form covered in the Fleur de Lis carving: six cabriole legs carrying a serpentine front in Smooth Copper metal, four cupboard doors on the outer sections and three central drawers, the Fleur de Lis pattern repeating across every exterior surface — front, sides, and top. The Smooth Copper cladding follows the carved relief, the metal pressed into each heraldic lily form. The piece is 78 inches wide and 34 inches tall.The teak is carved to the Fleur de Lis pattern before Smooth Copper metal is pattern-cut and fitted by hand to each surface. The carved areas require careful fitting across the full serpentine width; each section is secured with flush-set nails. Interior: teak veneer with adjustable shelving.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 carving in the Louise series references both European heraldic tradition and the decorative carving vocabulary of Rajasthan's artisan workshops. On the credenza form, with its cabriole legs and serpentine front, both references are present in the same object. Produced in Udaipur.Made to order, each piece may show slight variations that are a natural result of handmade metal-clad production. The Smooth Copper 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.
