About the Item
Slightly decorated, yet simple Art Deco gaming table, designed by André Léon Arbus for a private residence in Toulouse.
Made from mahogany and mahogany veneer, this game table has a foldable tabletop. When opened, there is an edge in mahogany and a top inlay finished with green felt. The edge has a Greek key pattern (frise à grecques), also called a meander, probably in gold leaf. The hinges are in brass. Comes with full provenance, including the original purchase invoice.
André Leon Arbus was a French architect-decorator and furniture designer who shaped a refined, classically inflected Art Deco style. Working at the same elite level as Louis Sognot, René Drouet, Maison Dominique, and Jean-Michel Frank, he was a central figure in the 1930s Paris design scene.
By the time he reached his early thirties, he was already recognized as a key figure championing French craftsmanship and a renewed appreciation for tradition. Critics such as Waldemar George praised him for embodying the continuity and coherence of 17th-century design, which they viewed as essential for the future of modern furniture. After 1946, he was appointed one of the designers working for the Mobilier National, contributing to an extensive effort led by Georges Fontaine to refurnish government ministries and state residences.
Designed and made in France, circa 1934.
Provenance: Private Collection Toulouse.
Shows light wear consistent with age, two small holes in the felt.
