Ruhlmann-Style Macassar Ebony Coffee Table

French Art Deco coffee table in the manner of Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, “Cabanel basse-boule” model. This elegant low table features a generous rectangular top in richly figured exotic Makassar wood, showcasing a deep, warm tone and refined grain that highlight its luxurious quality. The top is supported by four substantial carved ball feet, the characteristic basse-boule elements, which give the piece a sculptural, architectural presence while maintaining a clean, modern silhouette typical of the best 1920s French design.
The base is completed by stepped double stretchers that visually anchor the table and emphasize its strong horizontal lines, making it ideal for a sophisticated Art Deco interior or a contemporary space seeking a statement piece with historical resonance. Beautifully proportioned and finely crafted, this coffee table combines understated geometry with subtle ornament, recalling Ruhlmann’s mastery of luxurious materials and impeccable craftsmanship.
