About the Item

Exceptional French Art Deco coffee table, created in France circa 1920, featuring a refined wrought-iron base enhanced with subtle gilded accents. This table is distinguished by its remarkable black glass top, a true work of decorative art and the focal point of the piece. The circular glass top is decorated with an extraordinary constellation of stars, evoking the Milky Way shimmering against a night sky. Each star has been acid-etched or sand-etched directly into the glass, then carefully gilded, creating depth, contrast, and a luminous effect that changes with the light. This sophisticated artisanal technique reflects the highest level of French Art Deco craftsmanship, combining precision, poetry, and luxury materials. Measurements: Height: 18.9 in (48 cm) Diameter: 30.7 in (78 cm) Condition: Very good vintage condition. The glass top shows minor surface scratches and light wear to the gilded stars, consistent with age and use (see photos). The overall visual impact of the top remains striking and elegant. A rare and evocative piece, ideal for collectors of Art Deco furniture, or as a statement coffee table in a refined interior where craftsmanship and artistry are paramount.

French Modernist Gilded Wrought-Iron Glass Coffee Accent Table ca. 1950s
Located in Shippensburg, PA
MODERNIST GILDED WROUGHT-IRON AND GLASS COFFEE TABLE French, circa 1950s unmarked Item # 401RGG02P-1 An endlessly interesting modernist accent table from the 1950s, it works perfectly both as a side table beside a low sofa or chair or as a coffee or cocktail table. The diminutive stature of the table allows it to be a part of the room without dominating at all, adding texture and visual interest with the brilliantly textured gilt patina while having a great deal of negative space that makes the table feel light, airy and relaxed. The 3/8" thick (and brand new) glass top is set into tiny grooves in the legs, each with a single twisted iron ring hanging from the top with a gentle curved profile that terminates in a stubbed sabot. Ready to place. We acquired this together with a matched pair to this that is almost identical in size but is a simple black patination instead of having the gilt surface on the wrought iron; contact us if you would like to know about the other table. Measurements: 19 1/8" H x 29 5/8" diameter Condition Report: Glass is brand new 3/8" thick tempered clear glass; table in very good condition, light wear to gilding and overall patina in a few spots, incredibly sturdy and solid. A fine ready-to-place presentation. About silla antiques...
