About the Item
This Camille Gauthier “Capucines” games table was an Art Nouveau take on the 18th century Turret-top card table, popular across the courts of Europe and their colonies. Their form was based on the floor plan of a medieval castle, a square with a turret on each corner. Turrets were used to provide defensive positions in the days of military fortification but evolved to serve decorative functions as their military use faded. A player would sit at each corner of the table, with their hands resting on each turret. Four arms splay from each table leg, supporting each turret The table’s skirt is formed of a pierced carving, with both the skirt and marquetry depicting Nasturtiums. Originally a medicinal and edible plant, Nasturtiums were popularized by their use in Louis XIV’s flowerbeds at Versailles. Monet let large swaths ramble along the paths at Giverny, making it one of the most recognizable motifs of his early work. The marquetry is comprised of thuya burl, the world’s most expensive veneer, used by Roman woodworkers for temples in Biblical times. Prized by Baroque/Rococo cabinet makers, thuya featured heavily in chateau furniture.

Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
Nasturtiums were commonly known in Europe as Indian Cress or a translation of “Capucine cress”, in reference to the flower shape, which resembles Capucine monks’ hooded robes. Leaves of both species were eaten in salads; unripe seeds and flower buds were pickled and served as a substitute for capers.

Edouard Colonna French Art Nouveau Side Table
By Edouard Colonna
Located in New York, NY
A French Art Nouveau mahogany side table with carved decoration in an abstract curvilinear vegetal motif by Edouard Colonna (1862-1948). Circa 1900.
Along with Louis Comfort Tiffany, Edouard Colonna was one of the main designers who worked for Siegfried Bing and who, under Bing's guidance, was responsible for the creation of what is known today as the Modern Style, or Art Nouveau. Colonna is remembered for his tasteful elegance and his use of abstract forms to create a graceful linear rhythm and dynamic intertwining lines. While he occasionally started with a floral motif, Colonna abstracted nature to create the impression of a flower bud or bloom held within a carefully constructed geometric scheme. This design scheme is evident in the delicate carvings ornamenting each leg of the table and in the overall rhythm of the piece.
