French Art Deco center table

[davidheim1]

Saw this piece today on the 1stdibs.com web site. It's a fairly simple piece known as a gueridon, or center table. It's a piece that would have been placed in the center of a foyer. The original, built sometime in the 1930s, is made of mahogany.

Interesting table, David. It wouldn't fit in our foyer, though.

I'm curious about the textures. Why a horizontal one and a vertical one? And why is the vertical one sized as it is?

Dave,
Grabbed some mahogany images off the Internet, and they turned out to be very different sizes. Lesson learned.

Looks VERY heavy, none will be able to steal it from the foyer
