At Manoir Antiques, each antique piece is a testament to craftsmanship and uniqueness. Among our exquisite collection, one treasure stands above the rest—the captivating Louis XV style redwood dining table.
A Marvel of Craftsmanship:
Our pride and joy, the Louis XV Redwood Table, is an embodiment of artistic brilliance. Measuring an impressive 14.5 feet in length, this table boasts a one-piece top meticulously fashioned from a single plank of rare Andaman Padauk, a majestic species of Redwood. With seating capacity for up to 16 guests, this table exudes both comfort and grace, making it a symbol of grandeur and sophistication.
An Enchanting Legacy:
Beyond its impeccable design, the Louis XV Redwood Table weaves a tale of historical significance. Identified by esteemed wood identification experts from AIS of Maryland, the Andaman Padauk hails from the exclusive Andaman Islands, thriving in the lush environs of deciduous and semi-moist deciduous forests along the riverbanks. Often referred to as Andaman Redwood or Vermilion Redwood in the United States, this revered tree once graced the British-controlled Andaman Islands from the 18th Century until 1947.
A Journey Through Time:
Residing within the walls of an old English priory since its acquisition in 2017, this table bears witness to its intriguing past. Its creation most likely predates the mid-19th century, destined for a distinguished British officer of high rank. The table's aristocratic heritage imbues it with an air of mystery, elevating its allure to unprecedented heights.
Symbolism and Significance:
Beyond its rarity and history, the Redwood itself holds profound symbolism. Often associated with wellness, safety, longevity, wisdom, and communication, it serves as a testament to nature's magnificence. To wander amidst the towering Redwood forests is to immerse oneself in a living symphony of beauty—a sacred sanctuary within the embrace of nature's grandeur.
Uniqueness Preserved:
The Louis XV Redwood Table stands as a testament to conservation efforts and environmental respect. The Andaman people, fiercely dedicated to preserving these magnificent trees, ensure that only a precious few of these colossal beings remain unharmed. Consequently, finding a single plank of such size and beauty has become an insurmountable task, securing this table's unparalleled uniqueness for all time. Rest assured, the owner of this extraordinary piece possesses a treasure beyond measure—one that will never be replicated.
A Masterpiece to Cherish:
The table's enchanting allure is further accentuated by its exquisite Coromandel edging, encasing it with an elegant touch. The original color and impeccable patination of this masterpiece remain in pristine condition, testifying to its timeless charm.
