About the Item

This exceptional and rare antique French Art Deco foldable elevated coffee table attributed to Francisque Chaleyssin is circa 1930. The table is expertly handcrafted from rosewood and features an ingenious and versatile design that both transforms from a smaller to larger table with a folding tabletop and is height adjustable, elevating from a lower to taller height. It features beautiful wood grain and a lacquered surface with gorgeous original nickel-plated hinges and hardware and tightening bolt on underside. Francisque Chaleyssin Francisque Chaleyssin (1872-1951) was an important French ébéniste (cabinetmaker) and designer, primarily known for his work during the Art Deco period. Chaleyssin was a leading figure in the Lyon decorative arts scene, serving as the chief administrator of the École des Beaux-Arts and president of the regional committee of Applied Arts in the 1930s. His furniture often features rigorous geometric volumes and clean lines, reflecting an architectural sensibility. He frequently used a synthesis of materials, contrasting the warm tactility of wood with modern elements like black Formica tops or brass accents and his designs are noted for high-quality craftsmanship and sophisticated finishes. His legacy is that of a designer who successfully bridged traditional artisanal techniques with the emerging aesthetics of modernism in France.
