Maison Baguès Coffee Table in Brass and Venere Mirror, Circa 1970

This elegant coffee table embodies the refinement and French art de vivre of the 1970s. Crafted by the prestigious Maison Baguès in finely worked brass and topped with a magnificent Venere mirror, it stands out for the subtle alliance between neoclassical tradition and decorative modernity. Maison Baguès, founded in Paris in 1840 by Noël Baguès, is one of the most illustrious houses of lighting and furniture in French decoration. Specialising in the work of bronze and brass, it supplied for over a century the greatest private and official decorations. Its chiselled brass creations, often combined with glass, crystal or antiqued mirrors, are today particularly sought after for their exceptional quality of execution and timeless elegance. The Venere mirror, an ancestral Italian Venetian mirror-making technique with antiqued and nuanced reflections, brings to this table a unique visual depth and brilliance. It dialogues harmoniously with the brass base, whose clean lines and warm patina evoke the best of Parisian neoclassical decoration. With its generous dimensions of 33.86 in wide, 17.72 in deep and 19.69 in high, this coffee table will naturally find its place at the heart of a refined living room. Exceptional piece sourced by Maison Barrois, it will sublimate both classical and contemporary interiors. Good overall condition; the mirror shows the antiqued appearance characteristic of Venere mirrors.
