Monalisa Sideboard

The Monalisa Sideboard is far more than an ordinary buffet; it is a wide and magnificent work of art. Its design is founded on perfect symmetry; four majestic doors (two decorative framed side doors and two simpler central doors) create a visual balance that guides the eye across its entire length. At the top, a row of drawers with a “fluted” facade creates a beautiful vertical rhythm against the horizontal extension of the body. Short, curved legs terminating in Arabesque claws gracefully support the heavy visual weight, instilling a sense of dignified stability. The dark top surface creates an extraordinary contrast with the warm, woody body tones.

Exquisite handcrafted artistry

Monalisa is a showcase of various traditional carpentry and carving techniques, executed with obsessive precision.

• Medallion Carvings: The side doors are carved with intricate, embossed motifs reminiscent of family crests or classic Arabesque designs. These patterns are hand-carved with significant depth to create beautiful chiaroscuro effects.
• Carved Apron: The lower edge of the sideboard features continuous and elaborate floral and leaf carvings that link the legs together. Executing this seamless, winding design requires the high-level mastery of Berssini’s craftsmen.
• Patina Finishing: The coloring is applied using patina and distressing techniques, where darker shades are applied within the grooves and floral carvings to further highlight the age and authenticity of the wood.

Premium Materials

Given the sideboard’s significant length and the weight of the top, the internal structure must be of the highest quality.

• Grade AB Beechwood: The entire body, doors, and legs of the Monalisa are crafted from Grade AB Turkish beechwood.
• Load-Bearing Capacity: Due to its high hardness and excellent compressive strength, beechwood is the premier choice for supporting the top’s weight without the legs bowing or failing over time.
• Groove Finishability: The fine, regular fluting on the drawers can only be executed on high-density wood like Grade AB beech to ensure edges remain sharp and polished without chipping.

Design and placement

Monalisa, by virtue of its dimensions and design, is the undisputed ruler of wide walls in interior decor.

• Living Room: Ideal for placement beneath a large painting or a grand mirror. Its vast top surface provides an excellent space for arranging silver candelabras, crystal vases, and luxury accessories.
• Dining Room: Functions as a practical serving buffet for storing china sets, cutlery, and linens; its numerous drawers and spacious cabinets offer unparalleled organization.
• Style: Harmonizes with Classical, Regal, and Luxury Vintage styles.
