"Round Mahogany Table By André Sornay, Meubles Sornay 1960 "
Round table in mahogany by André Sornay (1902-2000), the renowned Lyon-based cabinetmaker and a major figure of French modernist design, circa 1960.
The circular mahogany top, with its deep, even grain, rests on a solid mahogany base assembled using Sornay's patented "tigette" system, his hallmark innovation. The visible mortise-and-tenon joints reveal both his constructive precision and his refined sense of proportion, characteristic of his postwar creations.
A balanced and elegant piece that embodies Sornay's vision of functional, architectural furniture made with the finest materials.
Provenance: Rhône-Alpes region, France, circa 1960
