André Arbus, Console table
André Arbus (1903-1969)
Console table
circa 1938-40
A white-painted wooden console table.
This piece rests on a stepped, crossbow-shaped base.
The tabletop, which echoes this same design, rests on two pairs of legs forming a volute at the base and a coiling at the top.
This console table comes from an interior designed by André Arbus in the Toulouse region, the city from which he hailed.
The white paintwork has been restored to its original finish.
