Ovoid Ceramic Split Coffee Table, Garrigue Tiles, Wood Frame, Roger Capron
-
Description
Roger Capron Garrigues ceramic tiles “2 halves” coffee table, wood frame, 1970s.
The handcrafted Garrigue tiles were produced from 1968 to 1982 by a technique in which real leaves were pressed into the clay and, during firing, disintegrated, leaving a finely detailed imprint. The leaves come from "La Garrigue", a variety of vegetation indigenous to southeastern France only, where Roger Capron lived and worked for 60 years. These Garrigue tiles inspired a large series of side to dining tables, including wall covering. Many kitchen in the French Riviera have their walls covered with Garrigue tiles.
This table is mounted on a unique design where 2 of the 4 rectangular wooden legs arrive flush with the ceramic top, while cutting the top in 2 halves.
It is in really good condition, a professional wood worker refinished the legs, but managed to keep the natural patina.
Stamped "Capron, Vallauris, France" - More Information
