It combines transparent and black glass as well as brass parts on a black lacquered tubular steel structure. The shape is sober, serious and geometric, softened by the color and shapes of the brass elements. It has 2 glass tops.

The coffee table is old and dates from the 1950s. It is made up of a black lacquered square section metal frame, a transparent glass top and a black glass lower top. A significant chip on one edge of the transparent glass top should be noted and is visible in the photo as well as a few scratches. The gilding of the brass is also very patinated in places. Its design is typical of the French midcentury modernist movement. It can become the coffee table in the living room or be used as an extra console along a wall.
