Particular and original French occasional table in European walnut; the massive octagonal-shaped top is supported by a square column that rests on an octagonal base; the table thus conceived, results in exceptional compactness, solidity, and stability.
The coffee table was created by a master craftsman between 1930 and 1935 in a qualified and professional carpentry workshop in the town of Pont-de-Beauvoisin, a French commune in the Isère department, nicknamed the furniture town for its ancient tradition of woodworking. The distinguishing element and uniqueness of the coffee table is the wood from which it is made: light-toned European walnut or national walnut. Walnut (Juglans regia) is a valuable and expensive wood, the "European walnut" variety is much more so; it is characterized by a light color with shades tending to yellow, warm tones and much more pronounced grain, qualities highly valued in the luxury furniture sector. European walnut is a hardwood, its coloring, flaming, and graining have been prized for centuries, and it is a wood that is unparalleled in its aesthetic appearance, unlike American walnut, which is darker in color and tends to discolor over time, and less expensive. All the processes for making the coffee table enhanced the chromatics, flaming, and grain of this precious and versatile wood. Ancient sanding, varnishing, and polishing techniques have then increased walnut's ability not to impregnate itself: common polishing waxes, therefore, act only on the surface without affecting the inner part of the wood and making it spongy and therefore less resistant. The craftsmen who worked on this coffee table managed to create an extraordinary, sought-after, and compelling piece of furniture, extraordinary and uniquely capable of communicating to us suggestions of bygone times, tradition, and functionality. Light European walnut furniture is highly sought-after but also expensive because the usable wood part in each plant is very scarce.
Our coffee table is a valuable and original piece of furniture; it is a perfect and typical example of Art Deco, which with its refined curvilinear structure that is elegant, refined, and full of charm is capable of communicating to us suggestions of past times, tradition and functionality. In addition, the coffee table has been completely restored with antique manual techniques by our team of craftsmen who have brought out and enriched the already high qualities of this wood. The coffee table is in excellent condition.
