About the Item

This exceptional center table was produced in the Netherlands during the 1920s, most likely by the company H.P. Mutters & Zoon in The Hague, with the design attributed to Carel Adolphe Lion Cachet. The striking design features a four-legged base and a round top crafted from a combination of solid oak and Macassar ebony. The circular oak top is refined with a thin round trim of Macassar, followed by a more substantial, contrasting band in solid Macassar. The contrast between the lighter oak and the darker Macassar, with its distinct grain, adds to the elegance of the design. The four outward-curved legs are beautifully carved and profiled, with detailed feet. Between each leg and the center of the table, a wavy lattice of solid Macassar is adorned with ocular-shaped cutouts, enhancing the table’s visual impact. The originality of the design, paired with the high level of craftsmanship, makes this table a unique piece, suitable as either a center or large side table. The table is in very good condition, with only very minor signs of wear consistent with age and use. About C.A. Lion Cachet Lion Cachet (1864–1945) is primarily associated with the Art Nouveau movement, though his work also reflects influences from the Arts & Crafts movement. His designs feature curvilinear forms, organic motifs, and elaborate decorative elements characteristic of Art Nouveau. At the same time, his emphasis on craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and traditional techniques aligns with the principles of the Arts & Crafts movement. Cachet was also an important precursor to the Amsterdam School. His decorative approach, use of rich materials, and intricate detailing influenced this architectural and design movement. The Amsterdam School (active around 1910–1930) was known for its expressive, sculptural forms, rich ornamentation, and traditional craftsmanship—elements found in Cachet’s work. While he was not formally part of the movement, his ornamental and handcrafted style in furniture, bookbinding, and interior design helped pave the way for Amsterdam School designers. In summary, Cachet’s work bridges Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts, and the early Amsterdam School, solidifying his role as a significant figure in Dutch decorative arts.

Leon Jallot Tiered Table in Pearwood and Camphor Burl
By Léon Jallot
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Early French Art Deco (transitional) tiered table by Leon Jallot in pearwood and camphor wood burl, circa 1910-12. 28” diameter x 29” high. Leon Jallot (1874-1967) Born in Nantes, July 24, 1874, Leon Jallot studied in Paris but did not go to any school of art. Without any formal training, other than a general refined sense of culture, he opened his own workshop at age 16 and began wood sculpting and making his own furniture.Strictly self-disciplined, he began as a wood carver. By 1899, at the age of just 24, he had worked his way to become Director of the Art Nouveau workshop of the collector, Siegfried Bing, for his shop called l’Art Nouveau in Paris. He remained there until 1901, overseeing production for the shop as well as Bing’s installation at the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition. Jallot therefore participated in the creation of some of the Art Nouveau movement’s most prized works – those designed by the firm’s renowned threesome: Georges de Feure, Eduoard Colonna, and Eugene Gaillard. In 1901 Jallot became one of the founding members of the first Salon of Societe des Artistes Decorateurs – an organization which produced highly anticipated annual exhibitions through the first half of the 20th Century. In 1903 he established his own decorating workshop where he designed and fabricated furniture, fabrics, carpets, tapestries, glassware, lacqueer and screens. Jallot was the first of the Art Nouveau designers to turn away from floral ornamentation and to pursue linearism – as early as 1904 his decoration was limited to the natural grain of the wood – and he was an advocate of rich materials rather than over-wrought forms to suggest luxury. Jallot’s work was shown at the Salons of Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts from 1908, Salon d’Automne from 1919, and at the SAD throughout. A review of his exhibit at the 1921 Salon des Artistes Decorateurs, in Art et Decoration, said: “His furniture has the easy elegance of ideas created in a flash and then mulled over – ingenuity, savoir-faire, and patience are all combined in his work.” He created furniture for the Grand Salon of Une Ambassade Francaise and Hotel du Collectionneur at the 1925 Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes (which would, years later, launch the term “Art Deco”). From 1921, Leon Jallot partnered with his son, Maurice (see Maurice Jallot’s biography elsewhere on the Calderwood Gallery...
