Mona Lisa Side Table

The Mona Lisa Side Table is a piece whose name draws inspiration from the mystery and timeless authenticity of art. The design of this round table is based on rich yet meticulously organized ornamentation. The apron beneath the tabletop serves as a canvas for master woodcarvers, adorned with a continuous ring of raised roses and ivy-like leaves. These ornaments are designed to resemble a floral wreath embracing the entire circumference of the table. The legs combine classic turned forms with carved cubic blocks, ultimately grounding the piece with a sense of strength and stability. A connecting ring at the lowest part of the legs not only completes the circular symmetry of the design but also creates remarkable visual cohesion throughout the piece. The black opaque finish enhances the shadows within the carvings and accentuates the texture and depth of the decorative details.

Handmade Craftsmanship and Authenticity

Mona Lisa is a showcase of deep wood-turning and carving artistry in Berssini workshops.

Wood Sculpting

The roses and arabesque motifs on the table apron are not applied decorative elements; they are created by carving directly into the main wooden structure using chisels and mallets by skilled artisans. Achieving such a substantial level of relief without damaging the wood grain requires exceptional expertise in wood sculpting.

Stable Traditional Joinery

The connections between the legs, upper apron, and lower ring are executed using traditional double mortise-and-tenon joinery techniques. This construction method ensures that the table remains highly stable and resistant to lateral pressure and the weight of heavy decorative objects, such as bronze sculptures or crystal lamps.

Premium Materials and Engineered Structure

For a product featuring such an extensive amount of carving, selecting the right type of wood is one of the most critical stages of production.

Solid Turkish Beech Wood, Grade A-B

The frame, legs, and carved apron of the Mona Lisa are entirely made from Grade A-B Turkish beech wood.

• Excellent Carving Properties: Due to its high density and fine grain, Turkish beech is an ideal material for intricate carving. It withstands repeated chisel work without crumbling, allowing the edges of flowers and leaves to remain sharp and clearly defined.
• Ideal Paint Absorption: The smooth surface of Grade A-B beech allows the final finish, particularly dark opaque colors, to be applied evenly without waviness, creating an appearance reminiscent of high-quality stone or polymer.

Application in Interior Design

Mona Lisa is a substantial and dignified decorative element that makes a strong statement within a space.

• A Complement to Luxurious Interiors: This table is designed for spacious formal living rooms featuring classic or royal-style furniture.
• Creating Contrast: In spaces with light-colored walls or gold-and-cream damask wallpaper, the dark finish and elaborate form of Mona Lisa create a striking visual contrast that naturally draws attention.
• A Display Surface for Fine Objects: The tabletop provides an elegant setting for displaying an antique vase, a vintage classic telephone, or large lamps with decorative shades.
