Rare and highly collectible Roger Capron coffee table, produced in Vallauris, France, 1960s — a prime example of the designer’s most sought-after period. This piece embodies everything driving the current demand for Capron: hand-crafted ceramic artistry, strong architectural form, and unmistakable French modernist character. The circular top is composed of meticulously arranged ceramic tiles in a precise radial layout, each panel featuring refined botanical impressions. The warm, layered glaze — ranging from ochre to deep earthy browns — creates a rich, almost painterly surface with exceptional depth and variation. The table is elevated on a sculptural beech bentwood base, forming a bold cross construction that introduces a powerful Brutalist aesthetic. This contrast between organic decoration and architectural structure is what defines Capron’s most desirable works. Signed examples of this scale and quality are increasingly scarce on the international market, particularly with this strong visual composition and excellent condition. A true statement piece and long-term collectible, ideal for high-end residential interiors, galleries, or hospitality projects seeking authentic mid-century French design. Condition is very good, with minor wear consistent with age.
