About Royal Collection 식탁

조각하고 조각 한 나무는 전통적으로 장식용 물건과 조각품을 만드는 데 사용되었습니다. 종종 이들은 나중에 더 당당한 인상을주기 위해 금박으로 도금했습니다. 쌀 & amp; Rice Fine Furniture의 Royal Collection은이 두 가지 공예품을 결합하여 가구로서의 기능을 완벽하게 유지하면서 그 자체로 장식용 개체 인 독특한 가구를 만듭니다. 23.5 캐럿 골드와 아메리칸 월넛 경재의 독점 소재가 2 개의 조각 식탁 디자인으로 결합되었습니다. 이 컬렉션은 테이블 디자인 당 10 개로 제한됩니다.

Unique Properties
The Royal collection takes the sculptural nature of the Sculptura and Chester dining tables further. Traditionally sculptures and architectural features were gold-gilded to display wealth and power. For the Royal Collection, this craft is brought to the residential furniture market. The carved wood of the table legs receives the same unique shine through gold-gilding. This limited edition, of 10 pieces per table design, showcases the skills of both, master carpenters and gold-gilders.

Production Technology
Handmade pieces produced by Master Carpenters and Gold-Gilders. Made from high-quality American walnut hardwood in book-match technique for the tabletop with hand-sculpted wooden legs with a 23.5-carat gold leaf finish.
Design Challenge
The key challenge of this project is the high level of craftsmanship and time required to create these one-of-a-kind pieces. For the tabletops, the wood is hand picked to create an eye-pleasing book-matched tabletop. Additionally, the required size of wood for the tabletop to start from is rare as American walnut is usually not providing the required length and width. We believe that this challenge in sourcing is more than worth it considering the beauty of the gold-gilding against the richness of American walnut, also referred to as black walnut.
Research
The key research aspect of the Royal Collection was to find the perfect technique to gild the table legs. The review of techniques showed that the traditional method of gold-gilding with thin leaves of gold, despite being more time-intensive and costly, is the most appropriate for this standout design. This technique in itself is a bow to high-quality craftsmanship, a vital part of the vision of Rice & Rice Fine Furniture.
Inspiration
Marrying the sculptural design of the Sculptura and Chester dining tables with a luxury craft used for the most precious sculptures and architectural features.
Project Duration
5 months of crafting time. Made by master craftspeople in Germany and England
Operation Flow
These tables are first crafted by hand by master carpenters, presenting 2 very specific skills, the traditional book-matching technique for the tabletop and sculptural carving by hand for the table legs. Gold-gilding is applied through thin leaves of 23.5-carat gold in a multi-step process requiring the highest level of skill and dedication. The gilded object, the gilt, is produced by specialist craftspeople experienced in this traditional and rare decorative art.
