About the Item
French, circa 1930s, this exceptional Art Deco dressing table stands out for its sculptural presence and remarkable asymmetrical composition. Designed with a fluid interplay of rounded forms and strong horizontals, the piece has the poise of an artwork - a functional object conceived with the same sensitivity to volume, balance, and light as the finest decorative arts of the period.
There is a clear dialogue with Bauhaus principles in the purity of form, the confidence of the asymmetry, and the way each element is distilled to its essential shape, while remaining unmistakably French Art Deco in its warmth and celebration of material.
Crafted in richly figured burr elm, the surface catches the light in shifting planes of depth and movement. The veneer has been recently re-lacquered to restore its original gloss, enhancing the dramatic grain that defines the piece. A circular mirror rises above a finely articulated base, while the drawers and cabinet open to reveal thoughtful storage integrated seamlessly into the sculptural design.
Viewed from any angle, the table has a striking architectural presence - almost cinematic - with the confident sweep of the base and the subtle rhythm of the stepped detailing adding to its visual drama. This is a collector-grade example of French Art Deco design, both for its rarity and the exceptional quality of its form and materials.
A standout statement piece for those who appreciate the sculptural boldness and refined glamour of true Art Deco craftsmanship.
