About the Item

This coffee table, crafted in France during the 1940s, is a remarkable piece that reflects the design sensibilities of the era. It was created just after Art Deco’s deep influence in style and design, which is evident in its use of wrought iron to create the table frame. We can see how this design draws inspiration from the elegance and innovation that was characteristic of early 20th-century French decorative arts; French designers such as Gilbert Poillerat - renowned for his exquisite ironwork - transformed the approach to the material altogether. The table serves as a functional piece and a great example of how the early 20th century reimagined the use of iron in design and culture more broadly. The coffee table features a sophisticated combination of materials and an elegant form that speaks to its historical roots. One of its unique features are the metal cross-stretchers that join the four legs near the bottom of the piece, the decorative features of which set it apart from other similar tables of the time. The two iron rods are twisted on both sides, creating an elegant shape that draws the eye. Following these twists to the meeting point of the stretchers, one finds a small, subtle decorative star, echoing the star motif of the tabletop. The tabletop is made of stone, providing a durable and refined surface that contrasts beautifully with the wrought iron base. The stone’s texture and natural colour add a touch of timeless elegance. At the same time, the iron frame showcases meticulous craftsmanship and style. The legs of the table are delicately curved, forming graceful lines that evoke a sense of movement and lightness despite the robustness of the materials. The depth of the curve of the legs increases near the top, straightening out just before reaching the stone, assuring the solidity of the piece while creating a visually balanced aesthetic. This juxtaposition of heavy stone and curved iron creates a harmonious balance between decorative and functional. This coffee table is an exemplary piece of functional art that extensively uses early 20th-century decorative principles, echoing the innovative use of iron as a decorative element. This table is more than just a piece of furniture: it reflects the artistic movements of early 20th-century France, where form and function were intertwined in perfect harmony, without sacrificing aesthetics. As such, it enhances the beauty of any living space and serves as a historical artefact, preserving the rich tradition of French decorative arts for future generations to appreciate.
