Conceived in the spirit of French Art Deco, this magnificent and collector-exceptional dining set consisting of a generous table and six chairs dates from the 1920s in France. The authorial signature and unmistakable artistic concept bear the hallmark of the prominent French architect and designer Paul Follot, whose work defined the standards of Parisian luxury and refined taste of the interwar era. The primary aesthetic and structural concept represents a masterly symphony of rare materials, bringing together mahogany, beech, exotic zebrano, walnut, and highly decorative thuja burl wood with a captivating, intricately structured grain. The architectural layout of the table captivates with its oval, smoothly expandable top featuring precisely composed veneer and richly profiled, fluted legs. The accompanying set of chairs features elegantly curved backrests with subtle inlays and airy seats with traditional cane webbing, which give the entire ensemble optical lightness and extraordinary comfort.

The entire dining garniture has undergone a complete, highly professional, and sensitive restoration process, including thorough professional cleaning and the revitalization of the original polish on all wooden surfaces. Expert restorers have thus successfully restored one hundred percent structural integrity of both the table and chairs, flawless functionality of the extension mechanism, and maximum visual appeal while strictly preserving the absolute historical authenticity, subtle patina, and high collector value of this unique suite.

Thanks to its French origin, the prestigious authorship of Paul Follot, and top-tier material execution, this set stands out as an absolute centerpiece and highly exclusive element in an interior. It perfectly enhances a representative dining room, luxury living space, residence, or serves as a breathtaking historical suite in an architecturally demanding environment. See less
