Description from the seller
This coffee table, made of gold-toned brass and topped with a transparent glass surface, perfectly embodies the sophisticated aesthetic that dominated European design between the 1960s and 1980s. Its frame, light yet sturdy, combines straight lines and balanced proportions, a distinctive hallmark of neoclassical taste reinterpreted by the great Parisian houses, among them Maison Jansen, whose influence is felt in the discreet elegance and luxury without ostentation.
Brass, with its warm shine and the natural patina it acquires over time, brings an air of distinction that engages with crystal, creating a clean and luminous visual interplay. The stylized legs, often finished with small decorative details or geometric joints, evoke French classicism reinterpreted in a modern key. The lower structure, designed to provide stability and sometimes to house an additional shelf, reinforces functionality without sacrificing aesthetics.
This type of table has become an icon of mid- to late-20th-century interior design: versatile, elegant, and able to blend into both classic and contemporary settings. Its design, associated with Parisian luxury and high-end décor, is still highly valued today by collectors and lovers of vintage style.
Overall, it is a piece with character, a sense of history, and an impeccable decorative presence, bringing light, sophistication, and a touch of French glamour to any space where it is placed.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
