FRENCH CERAMIC ARTIST ROGER CAPRON CERAMIC TILE COFFEE TABLE GARRIGUES

Creator: Roger Capron
Offered by: Pavilion Antiques and 20thc

Description
Iconic coffee table from the 60s by Roger Capron, for Vallauris, France. This coffee table was made by French ceramist Roger Capron in the 1960s. Structure in solid wood and the top is made of ceramic tiles with a herbarium pattern. Each impression is of a plant of the Garrigue or scrubland surrounding Vallauris. Thus it is called Les Herbiers. Each tile is unique, in fact it is from a natural plant embedded in the earth before firing that the pattern is formed, like a fossil. In very good vintage condition, signed Roger Capron.
This series of tables with impressed plants has become more and more highly sought after in the Capron lexicon. As Pavilion specializes in the work of artists and designers of France and Italy we love this table for its vibrant and happy quality celebrating the life of the south of France.
This table is more oval than round.
Very good no chips or issues with the ceramics or grout. The wood frame has been touched up where the stain was faded and waxed.

Message from Seller:

Pavilion is the collective vision of Deborah Colman and Neil Kraus, both graduates of the master of fine arts program at the Art Institute of Chicago. From a longstanding interest in art and design, frequent buying trips to France and Italy have influenced the direction of the gallery to offer items that are not easily sourced in Chicago and United States. Postwar design has been the focus for 18 yrs and we also look forward to new design that crosses boundaries and dialogues as well to the past
