Rare French Prototype Mid-Century Coffee or End Table in Lucite, Maria Pergay

Offered by: Thomas Gallery Ltd.

Description
A Rare French Mid-Century Modern Prototype Lucite Cocktail / Coffee or End Table in the style of Maria Pergay. The table forms an intriguing design statement with its innovative "deconstructivist" architecture and totally transparent aesthetic and precedes the deconstructivist movement by almost 2 decades. The piece appears as a partially hollow form with open columnar legs and open shafts that are held together by steel pins. The hollow lucite legs are closed on the 3 out-sides and open on the interior side and the piece has columnar open shafts that parallel the legs from the top view. In sum, It is a work of intriguing engineering and aesthetic delight. Dimensions: H 19" x 31.5 x 26".
