French Modern Neoclassical Gilt Wrought Iron Coffee / Side Table by Rene Drouet

Creator: René Drouet (Attributed)
Offered by: Thomas Gallery Ltd.

Description
French Mid-Century Modern neoclassical gilt wrought iron round cocktail table or side / end table by Rene Drouet with a top of Verre Eglomisse (reverse painted glass). The poetic tripod form base is in gilt hand hammered iron and features 3 delicate volute forms rising to accommodate an inset glass top. The "verre eglomisse" top is also in gold leaf and the hand painted decoration features intertwining acanthus leaves. The base and top mirror each other in their consistent rhythmic nature and transform this piece into a work of art.

A second similar piece is also available with a stone top.

Message from Seller:

T. Thomas Gargiulo came from a dual background as a Ph.D. in Psychology with extensive training in Art History and Anthropology to form Thomas Gallery in downtown Manhattan in 1997 to balance intellectual with design pursuits. Since its inception the gallery has seen decorative arts as a vibrant representation of human culture of each age and as a portal to understanding it. P: 917.434.4032 E: thomasgalleryltd@gmail.com
