de Le Cuona | African Engraved Table XXL No.1 – Natural

The African Engraved Table XXL No.1 in Natural is a piece we would give real room to rather than squeeze into a corner. The name tells you the scale and the surface: it is the largest in its family, and the engraving is what gives the top and body their character, catching light at an angle and settling back into a calm natural tone straight on. It is the kind of table that suits a generous space and does a good deal of work without needing anything on it.

Here is what we can confirm: the maker is de Le Cuona, the piece is the African Engraved Table XXL No.1, the finish is Natural, and the reference is AET10. We do not have the dimensions, materials or detailed finish specification confirmed from the information we hold, and with furniture that is not a detail to estimate. We would send you the exact height, length and depth from the maker before you plan the room, and confirm what the Natural finish consists of at the same time.

We would use a table of this size as the centre of a dining room, where it can carry a long meal and still look settled with plain linen runners and low candles. It would also suit a wide entrance hall as a single statement piece, or the middle of a library where it can double as a place to work. We would pair it with simple chairs in a quiet cloth, and keep the surrounding walls soft so the engraving can be read.

For installation, check the dimensions against doorways, stairs and the turn into the room before ordering, since a piece this large needs a clear route in. Ask the maker whether it arrives assembled or in parts, and who will place it. Leave at least 90 centimetres around the table for chairs to pull out comfortably. For care, keep it out of direct sun and away from radiators, and ask us for the maker's cleaning guidance for the Natural finish.
