Neo-classical Cast Iron And Verre églomisé Coffee Table, 1940s

Neoclassical Cast Iron and Eglomisé Glass Coffee Table, 1940s.

This neoclassical coffee table, circa 1940, features a patinated cast iron base resting on three small decorative brass feet, supporting a round eglomisé glass top. The reverse side of the top is decorated with gilt scrolls and lines, and boasts a superb cloudy patina. Eglomisé—a gilding/painting technique applied to the back of glass—experienced a surge in popularity between the two World Wars, prized by French decorators for its precious reflections (in the style of Jansen or Baguès). The piece blends architectural simplicity with decorative brilliance, a hallmark of 1930s-40s neoclassicism. A stable, heavy, and elegant piece, ideal for a living room or entryway.
