PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This set of three nesting tables in gilt metal with onyx tops embodies the precious elegance of French decorative arts in the 1940s. The gilt metal, finely worked, echoes the luminous warmth of the onyx, whose natural veins give each table a unique character. The nesting form, inherited from the 18th century, is here reinterpreted in a sober, neoclassical idiom.
The use of onyx as a decorative material experienced a true revival in the 1930s and 1940s, where it was associated with gilt metal or bronze to signal luxury and sophistication. Nesting tables, designed to be deployed according to need, are pieces that are both functional and highly decorative, often commissioned for refined post-war Parisian interiors.
The modular dimensions (the largest measuring 51 × 33 × 46.5 cm) allow this set to find its place in a living room, a boudoir or a reading study. Deployed, it structures several use zones; stowed, it remains discreet and elegant.
An iconic set of 1940s French decorative arts whose pairing of gilt metal and onyx continues to enchant classical, eclectic and contemporary interiors.
