About the Item

A very rare large circular low minimal coffee table designed by Lillian Grassi circa 1950, black stone top, patinated brass legs and adjustable brass screw feet. 
 Liliana Grassi (1923-1985) graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at Milan Polytechnic in 1947, where she subsequently became a professor in the restoration of historical monuments, initially in the Architecture Faculty and then in the Faculty of Engineering. One of her main projects was the decades long restoration of the Ca’ Grande, damaged in the Second World War. She was a sought-after expert in this area and author of several publications on restoration techniques. Grassi built a small number of private houses for friends and designed furniture for them

A fine Art Deco low coffee table Attributed to Jean-Charles Moreaux dating from the 1940s.

Side Table Pierre Chareau
By Pierre Chareau
Located in CA, CA
Stunning table after Pierre Chareau originally designed for the Club-House of the Beauvallon Golf Hôtel in 1928 . The table has a wooden top, supported by a riveted steel base. Completed in 1928, the Club-House of the Beauvallon Golf Hôtel represented the first major commission for Pierre Chareau in collaboration with the Dutch architect Bernard Bijvoet. The white-painted cement-rendered club-house was an asymmetric structure executed in the prevailing Modernist style, and comprised of a kitchen, a bar-dining area, and an open terrace. With the exception of fully-upholstered seating that was reserved for use in the interior, the majority of furnishings expressed Chareau's creative interest in the use of steel and iron for furniture manufacture. These included a variety of occasional tables and iron-framed chairs with woven cane seats, designed for use on the open terrace. This commission was amongst the first to illustrate the intensive working relationship between Pierre Chareau and the metal-worker with whom he exclusively collaborated, Louis Dalbet. In good original condition, some shrinkage to the circular top. Literature: p.92 Pierre Chareau Designer and Architect published by Taschen Provenance: from the collection of Marion Lambert...
