Pair of Maison Hirsh Black Lacquered Pedestals with Gilded Decor, Circa 1970

This elegant pair of pedestals signed Maison Hirsh embodies the decorative refinement of French haute décoration of the 1970s. Crafted in deep black lacquered wood and adorned with finely executed gilded decoration, it combines the rigour of neoclassical proportions with an ornamental sophistication inherited from the greatest Parisian houses. Maison Hirsh, specialist in lacquered and gilded decoration, is part of the tradition of the great French decoration houses of the 20th century. Its creations, sometimes inspired by Chinese taste or Asian lacquers, testify to a keen craftsmanship in lacquer and gold leaf, demanding techniques mastered by few workshops. The combination of deep black and warm gold gives these pedestals a presence that is both statuesque and refined. Compact yet tall, they fit perfectly on either side of a sofa, an armchair, or as side tables for precious decorative objects. With their dimensions of 12.2 in wide, 12.2 in deep and 23.82 in high, these pedestals will naturally find their place in a refined living room. Pieces sourced by Maison Barrois, they will sublimate both classical and contemporary interiors. Good overall condition.
