Faux-Marble Lacquered Table by Jean Claude Mahey, France, 1970s

Creator: Jean Claude Mahey
Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
This striking round French table by Jean-Claude Mahey features a high-gloss faux-marble lacquered top in warm cream tones, highlighted by a contrasting inlaid circular motif. Its sculptural pedestal base, composed of three sweeping curved supports, creates a bold yet elegant presence characteristic of Mahey’s glamorous design language. Blending classical influences with refined 1970s French modernism, the table works beautifully as a dining table, center table, or statement piece in an entry hall. Visually and materially, it pairs perfectly with the matching Mahey lacquered cabinet from the same suite. A sophisticated and versatile design that brings instant architectural impact to any interior.

Jean-Claude Mahey, born into a lineage of skilled decorative painters, developed a refined sensibility for surface, material, and craft from an early age. After graduating from the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués in Paris in 1966, he established his own contemporary furniture atelier a decade later, working closely with his wife, Betty Mahey. Together, they created an extensive body of work distinguished by the use of luxurious finishes, high–gloss lacquer, precious metals, exotic woods, and marble, executed with meticulous precision in their own workshop. By 1992, the couple opened a dedicated Paris showroom and gradually welcomed their children, Cecilia and Maxence, into the family enterprise, ensuring the continuation of a distinctly French design lineage defined by elegance, craftsmanship, and a mastery of decorative technique.
