Testament to Skill
An exceptional example of craftsmanship, inspired by a desk commissioned in the Art Nouveau style. Hand-carved from solid walnut, it features sinuous curvilinear lines intertwined with foliage, leaves, and flower heads.
Delicate gilded accents highlight the fine details, bringing depth and elegance to the design.
Creating a replica of an antique Art Nouveau desk. We were not allowed to photograph it, so we had to sketch the desk from memory. The flowing shapes were too complex to draw in 3D, so we decided to make an actual half sized desk.
The desk was made entirely made out of solid English walnut which took two years to find, and the desk itself took 6,200 workshop hours to prototype, make and finish.
Materials: English walnut and 23 carat gold leaf.
Finish: Oiled.
