Horse Coffee Table - Glass And Gilt Bronze - Maison Charles - Period: 20th

About the Item

Emblematic French "Cheval" coffee table created by the prestigious Maison Charles, in glass and gilt bronze. Its transparent glass top with black edges rests on four legs in the shape of a horse's head, with a combed mane, having for pedestal wooden cubes painted in a cedar burl style resting on flattened wooden balls. The legs are linked by a double gilt bronze shelf framing a smoked glass top. Period: 20th century Circa : 1970 Dimensions : Height : 38cm x Width : 60cm x Length : 120cm (Some traces of scratches on the glass). In 1908, the House of CHARLES was created by Ernest Charles, who took over the ULLMANN company, a bronze manufacturer.   The company only worked in bronze and initially specialised in the reproduction of antique lighting fixtures, an activity which enabled it to build up a reputation among bronze smiths. All the craftsmen who join the House of CHARLES come from the most prestigious art schools, such as the two sons of Ernest CHARLES who join the House in 1959.  Jean, who graduated from the École Boulle, and Jacques, who graduated from the Arts Appliqués. The arrival of the CHARLES sons brought a certain renewal to the creation of the House which then truly developed its characteristic style, between classicism and originality.
