Tripod Pedestal Table in Brass, Black Marble Top with Openwork Gallery, in the Style of Jacques Adnet, Circa 1960

This pedestal table features a circular speckled black marble top, set within a brass rim encircled by an arcaded openwork gallery. The tripod base, with tapering legs crossed in a bundle in the manner of a campaign tripod, is held by a central knot adorned with a mobile ring and ends in ball feet.

This bundled construction, of Neoclassical spirit revisited with a touch of almost military ingenuity, recalls the taste of Jacques Adnet, the great French decorator whose small furniture of the 1950s-1960s combined classical references and modern design.

Condition report: Good overall condition. Brass with a uniform gilded patina, marble with no visible damage. A pedestal table of fine elegance, perfect as a side table, as a bedside table or to hold a lamp in an entrance hall.
