Rare French Art Deco Writing Table / Desk in Teak c. 1925, style of Andre Groult

Offered by: Thomas Gallery Ltd.

Description
Elegant and Timeless French Art Deco Writing Table / Desk in Teak Wood circa 1925. This rare and original piece has an exquisite sense of line, form and volume that creates a dramatic, yet subtle presence. The design and construction of this work is exceptional, the piece rests on a double plinth base. From each base 2 dramatic, poetic fluted legs arise and support lyre form side walls. A rectangular top rests upon these side walls. All work is in teak and done by hand and made in a small workshop. The piece is functional and practical as a writing table / desk or center table but exudes a magical presence via its original form and lines.

T. Thomas Gargiulo came from a dual background as a Ph.D. in Psychology with extensive training in Art History and Anthropology to form Thomas Gallery in downtown Manhattan in 1997 to balance intellectual with design pursuits. Since its inception the gallery has seen decorative arts as a vibrant representation of human culture of each age and as a portal to understanding it. P: 917.434.4032 E: thomasgalleryltd@gmail.com
