Art Deco Pedestal Table Attributed to Jules LELEU 1930s

Jules Leleu (1883–1961) is one of the greatest names in French Art Deco furniture. Born into a family of cabinetmakers, he founded the Leleu house in 1910, which became famous for its refinement, its exacting choice of materials, and its understated elegance. He collaborated with the greatest decorators of his time, designing prestigious ocean liners such as the "Normandie" and the "France," as well as embassies and official residences. His style is distinguished by a clever balance between tradition and modernity, playing on precious woods, fine marquetry, and clean lines. This pedestal table features a simple but solid line, a richly veined burl veneer, and a fluted central base that gives the piece its character. The squat shape of the base, combined with the quality of its workmanship, reinforces the impression of stability and understated luxury. This type of furniture, typical of the 1930s and 1940s, illustrates Leleu's taste for harmony between functionality and aesthetics, with a predilection for precious woods and balanced volumes. A beautiful piece to be valued as a rare example of great French decorative art.
