Gilbert Poillerat Art Deco Side Tables, 1940s, Set of 2
Description
Gilbert Poillerat Art Deco Side Table, brass and glass, France, 1940s
A refined example of French decorative ironwork, this side table reflects the unmistakable hand of Gilbert Poillerat, whose work bridged Art Deco geometry and the emerging elegance of mid-century design.
The slender legs rise with architectural precision, supporting a circular top framed by a delicately scalloped iron edge — a subtle ornamental gesture that softens the rigor of the structure. The mirrored glass surface enhances light and proportion, creating a quiet dialogue between solidity and reflection.
Poillerat, often associated with great French decorators such as Jean-Michel Frank and Emilio Terry, brought a sculptural sensibility to wrought iron, elevating it from craft to high decorative art. This table embodies that vision: restrained, balanced, and distinctly Parisian.
