Manner of Andre Arbus, Maison Dominique, Jean Michel Frank, Jean Dunand, Emile Jacques Ruhlmann. Rosewood veneered hardwood, with a copper or zinc (?) lined basin. Exquisite geometric simplicity, also reminiscent of Pierre Legrain and Pierre Chareau. In addition to utilizing this for its original purpose in a church or one’s private chapel, this exquisite and LUXE piece would make a very chic addition to an enclosed gazebo. For a short while, we used it as a pedestal to display a pair of porcelain sculptures. For additional dramatic effect, one could add a glass or Lucite top and portable LED uplights underneath. This base also would make for a fabulous reading /cocktail/cafe / dining table. So many options! ****We presently have a 48” x 48” Ralph Lauren goatskin tabletop in our inventory that would put it in the JEAN MICHEL FRANK / PAUL DUPRE-LAFON / KARL SPRINGER realm!
