de Le Cuona | African Engraved Table Large No.3 – Brown

The African Engraved Table Large No.3 from de Le Cuona is a table piece with a handmade character, and in Brown it takes a deep, earthy tone that sits comfortably in most interiors. The engraving gives the surface a quiet pattern that you notice when you come close, and it catches light at an angle in a way a plain surface does not. We would treat it as a piece with presence of its own, to be given room on a surface rather than crowded among other objects.

We do not have confirmed dimensions, materials or finish details for this piece in front of us, so we have not quoted any here. The reference is AET15, listed as Large No.3 in Brown. Because the size matters a great deal for where a piece like this will sit, we will send you the exact measurements and material details from the supplier before you order. If you are planning a particular console or table, give us the surface size and we will check the proportions with you.

We tend to place a piece like this on a console in an entrance hall, where it can hold its own beside a lamp and a bowl of keys. It also suits a dining table as a centrepiece between meals, or the middle of a long sideboard with a single stem arrangement beside it. For pairings, we would keep the surroundings calm: natural linen, oak or walnut, plaster-toned walls and one or two other objects in matching earthy tones, so the engraving remains the detail.

For installation, there is nothing to fix. Place it on a stable, level surface and check the width and depth of the piece against the table beneath, leaving a clear margin at the edges so it is not easily knocked. Use a felt pad under the base if the surface is polished or painted. For care, we would dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners until you have confirmed the finish with the supplier's care notes.
