Enamelled lava coffee table and lacquered metal. France, 1970s.

Rectangular coffee table with a black lacquered metal structure, featuring a square-section four-legged base supporting a top made of three grey enamelled lava stone tiles with bluish reflections depending on the light, decorated with black scarifications and red-yellow-orange ideograms reminiscent of embers. The top is bordered by a black lacquered metal angle. Metal spacer with clear openings. Not signed but attributed to Robert and Jean Cloutier. This table, in the same tones and patterns in grey or red, has been part of numerous lots in auction rooms. One of the variants is still visible in the online general catalogue of Tajan. Excellent condition with some signs of age. The three tiles have no cracks. The reliefs are typical of enamelled lava stone. Height: 35 cm. Length: 91 cm. Width: 31 cm.
