Rare Belgian Art Deco Diamond-Shaped Dining or Conference Table, Antwerp
Located in Antwerp, BE
Exceptional Belgian Art Deco dining or conference table, made in Antwerp circa 1930 for a diamond dealer. The entire design refers to the form and facets of a cut diamond. The large elongated octagonal tabletop is composed of carefully arranged walnut and burl wood veneers, divided into geometric sections that radiate from a small octagonal centre. The substantial faceted pedestal base continues the same geometric language and is decorated with contrasting diamond-shaped veneer inlays. The lower section is surrounded by a substantial metal foot rail following the angular outline of the base, an unusual architectural detail that gives the table a particularly distinctive character. The table was originally made for a diamond dealer in Antwerp, historically one of the world's most important centres of the diamond trade. Its faceted tabletop, geometric pedestal and repeated diamond-shaped decorative elements clearly reflect this connection. A rare and highly individual piece of Belgian Art Deco furniture...
