About the Item
Important French Art Deco Wrought Iron
Marble Dining Set Attributed to Edgar Brandt, circa 1930
This important seven-piece French Art Deco dining ensemble, comprising a sculptural wrought-iron table with marble top and six matching chairs, is attributed to Edgar Brandt, among the most influential metal artists of the 20th century and a defining figure of the Art Deco movement.
The set exemplifies the extraordinary ability of Brandt and his atelier to transform wrought iron into architectural sculpture. Flowing vine motifs, curling tendrils, and finely modeled grape clusters are not applied ornament but integral structural elements—achieving a rare balance between strength and lyrical elegance. This synthesis of organic form and disciplined geometry is a hallmark of Brandt’s mature Art Deco vocabulary and places the ensemble firmly within the highest tier of French decorative arts of the interwar period.
The table is surmounted by a dramatic Italian Portoro marble top, distinguished by its deep black ground animated with luminous gold veining. Long favored for elite commissions, Portoro marble was reserved for interiors of exceptional status, and its use here underscores the luxury and importance of the ensemble. The visual contrast between the polished stone and the richly patinated wrought iron creates a commanding yet refined presence.
The six accompanying chairs mirror the table’s design language, with gracefully arched iron frames and matching vine and grape motifs. Newly upholstered in a restrained neutral textile, they offer comfort while allowing the sculptural ironwork to remain the focal point. Their open silhouettes and elegant proportions make the set equally compelling in both grand classical interiors and sophisticated contemporary spaces.
The ensemble is believed to have been commissioned for or acquired by the residence of the United States Ambassador to Cuba in Havana during the 1930s–1940s, a period when Havana stood at the center of international diplomacy, cultural exchange, and European luxury. Diplomatic residences of this era routinely sourced bespoke French furnishings to project refinement, authority, and modernity. The scale, material richness, and artistic ambition of this set are entirely consistent with such an ambassadorial context.
Complete Art Deco dining ensembles of this caliber—particularly those with strong attribution to a named master—are exceptionally rare. More often, individual tables or chairs survive in isolation. The preservation of this cohesive set significantly enhances both its historical importance and its desirability among serious collectors.
While no signature or archival documentation has surfaced, the attribution to Edgar Brandt is supported by the sophisticated handling of wrought iron, the naturalistic yet controlled vegetal motifs, and close parallels to documented works produced by the Ateliers Edgar Brandt during the height of the Art Deco era. The designation “Attributed to Edgar Brandt” reflects accepted practice among major auction houses and leading galleries when stylistic and technical evidence is compelling.
This is not merely furniture, but an important period ensemble—a functional work of art that stands at the intersection of decorative art, architecture, and cultural diplomacy. A rare opportunity for discerning collectors and high-profile designers to acquire a sculptural statement piece of museum-level quality and enduring significance.
