Table d'appoint en métal en forme de bouquet de lys avec plateau en verre, années 1960

A charming side table in tole work, its base formed as a bouquet of metal lilies, leaves and stems, made in Italy in the 1960s or 1970s. The bouquet is tied with a twisted metal 'rope' and fans out into three graceful legs, carrying a round glass top of 65 cm. Finished in a soft cream with a light antique patina, it is a lighter, more contemporary take on the better-known gilded Florentine flower tables. Design. The base has been built up by hand from dozens of separate flowers, leaves and stems in lacquered sheet metal and wire, right down to the red stamen tips in the lilies. The curved leaf ends support the glass top, so the whole bouquet remains visible. Tole work - lacquered sheet metal - was produced mainly in and around Florence in the 1960s and 1970s and is closely associated with the Hollywood Regency style. Condition. Good vintage condition. The base is complete: all flowers, leaves and stems are present. The cream lacquer has a light, brownish antique patina and age-related wear: small areas of worn lacquer and specks on the edges of leaves and stems, and some light marks on the petals. The glass top rests loose on the three leaf ends of the base and has a polished edge without chips; light surface scratches in the glass are in keeping with its age. Please see the photos for details. Dimensions: height 54.8 cm, diameter 65 cm. In the interior. Lovely in a romantic or Hollywood Regency interior, but it works just as well among clean-lined modern furniture, in a white country-style interior, a conservatory or a bedroom. Use it beside an armchair, in a bay window, as a wine table or as a small breakfast table for two.
