A refined interplay of materials and craftsmanship defines this low coffee table by Chanaux & Pelletier, active figures in French interior design during the interwar period and noted collaborators of important authors and designers like Jean-Michel Frank, Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, among others. Executed circa 1930, the piece features a rectangular frame in black lacquered wood with neoclassical lines subtly enriched by gilt bronze trim. Its four tapered legs, with chamfered detailing and stepped feet, echo Louis XVI symmetry while leaning into the pared-back geometry of Art Déco. The top surface, covered in cured animal skin, presents a textured, mosaic-like arrangement with nuanced tonal shifts that catch light in discreet iridescence.
The restrained palette of ebony, gold, and warm organic hues contributes to a sober yet tactile elegance, underscoring the studio’s approach to material contrast and formal harmony.
