Maple coffee table & bar, Paul Michel, France, 1980's

About the Item

A goldsmith's envelope to store your best cognacs. It is in the west of France, between Nantes and Poitiers that the Paul Michel workshops in Bressuire created these superb coffee tables hiding a bar with a thousand reflections. Elegant version in bird's-eye maple with a mirrored base and an ingenious steel pivot system giving access to the bar. This table, as playful as it is delicate, will be the best ally for your cocktail evenings in style. Just imagine the gullible faces of your guests lighting up when the secret bar nestled in the center of the table opens to them. The Paul Michel factory, founded in 1966, closed its doors in 2014 after becoming one of the flagships of French luxury furniture. This bar table was produced from 1986 to 2010. This light maple version is a less common edition than the usual elm burl versions.
