Vintage Round Side Table with Garrigue Tiles on Wood Frame by Roger Capron

Creator: Roger Capron
Offered by: Gueridon

Description
Round end table with the famous Roger Capron Herbier tiles, designed from 1968 to 1982.

The handcrafted Garrigue tiles produced 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 end table is mounted in a wood (oak) frame and 4 cylindric wood legs, typical design that Mr. Capron was using for his production in the 1970's.

Wood frame and legs have been refinished by a professional woodworker who managed to keep the beautiful patina that this table got over the years.
