silversmith's pedestal table
perfect harmony of gold and stone
«"I wanted a side table that was chic like a bracelet and graphic like ancient architecture."»
The Syracuse pedestal table is inspired by the rhythm of ancient stone arches, giving it a completely timeless silhouette.
It is enhanced with 24-carat gold, delicately laid in leaves…
The Syracuse pedestal table could have been a jewel, it is a precious piece of furniture, a future classic.

Unalterable gold
To decorate the base of the Syracuse pedestal table, the gilder applies 24-carat gold leaves, 0.000125 millimeters thick, to the metal…
This is how architectural elements on monuments and castle gates are gilded.
The gilder uses a sable brush to pick up each gold leaf without tearing it. It is a job requiring patience and precision.
But since gold is incorruptible, the final object will retain its shine forever.
