Coffee table 'Herbier' by Roger Capron

Rectangular ceramic coffee table 'Herbier' designed and produced in the 1960s by Roger Capron in his workshop in Vallauris, France. The ceramic tiles were handmade using a technique where real leaves from the garrigue were pressed into the clay. During firing, the leaves disintegrated, leaving a finely detailed imprint. The 'Herbier' tiles are a sub-category of these garrigue tiles and refer to the smaller leaves. One tile has a chip of a few millimeters; otherwise, the whole piece is in good condition. The black metal frame is also in very good condition. The artist's signature is visible on the top.
