French Coffee Tables

SAY “OUI” TO FABULOUS FRENCH COFFEE TABLES

When it comes to impeccable style, there’s just something about French coffee tables. Call it je ne sais quois or an eye for proportion and detail, but antique French coffee tables are in a league of their own. For those looking to integrate a classically chic element into their living room, consider a rectangular French glass-top coffee table with an elegant brass or chrome base. Often tagged as being in the style of eminent French maker Maison Jansen, these Parisian coffee tables are simplistic but radiate elegance—not to mention, their versatility is virtually unmatched. Use one of these antique French coffee tables to complement everything from traditional roll-arm sofas to modernist velvet upholstered Chesterfield sofas. You might also hold out for designs showcasing brass paw or hoof feet. Designer La Barge is perhaps best known for their brass and glass animal-footed coffee tables that emanate Parisian appeal. If you like the look of the glass and brass French-style coffee table, but favor something a bit more ornate, consider a Louis XVI-inspired coffee table. Tapered legs, a decorative apron, and marble tops make these antique French coffee tables ideal in rooms where you’re looking to merge traditional French style with modern elements like structured sofas and Brutalist lighting. Fancy country charm over urban sophistication? Look for French-style coffee tables featuring rustic wood finishes and simple cabriole legs. Partner these tables with white slipcovered sofas and pinstriped roll-arm chairs to cue up a look that evokes the laidback charm of the French countryside.
