Maison Jansen style French Neoclassical wrought and gilt-iron side table with an arrow-motif base and faux-marble top, dating to the 1970s. The rectangular table combines a restrained architectural form with decorative details associated with French Neoclassical and Hollywood Regency interiors.

The open iron framework is finished in warm gilt tones and incorporates crossed arrows, a classical symbol traditionally associated with strength, unity, and martial virtue. Slender legs and linear stretchers give the table a light, refined profile, while the arrow-form decoration provides a distinctive sculptural element. The removable rectangular top has a faux-marble finish that complements the aged gilding of the frame.

The table may be used as presented or customized with a new stone, marble, mirrored, or beveled-glass top of the buyer’s choice. Its proportions make it suitable as an end table, occasional table, drinks table, or compact bedside table.

The design relates to the classically inspired iron furniture produced by French decorating firms such as Maison Jansen during the mid-20th century.

Dimensions: 27 inches wide × 16 inches deep × 23 inches high.

Condition: Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear, surface variation, and oxidation to the gilt-iron frame. The faux-marble top shows minor wear. See less
