Expandable French Modern Neoclassical Wood, Marble Coffee Table by Maison Jansen

Creator: Maison Jansen
Offered by: Thomas Gallery Ltd.

Description
18th century French cabinet makers sought to make great furniture by creating works that blended rare materials in exotic but harmonious ways. Jansen re-affirms this with a modern neoclassical coffee table from the midcentury that has a top of grey veined Carrara marble surrounded by a bronze gallery, the rich wood veneers are also highlighted by bronze and there are slide out side panels with red leather tops that expand the table's surface area. Elegant details, luxurious and harmonious. Table expands from 36 to 60" with side panels fully extended.

T. Thomas Gargiulo came from a dual background as a Ph.D. in Psychology with extensive training in Art History and Anthropology to form Thomas Gallery in downtown Manhattan in 1997 to balance intellectual with design pursuits. Since its inception the gallery has seen decorative arts as a vibrant representation of human culture of each age and as a portal to understanding it. P: 917.434.4032 E: thomasgalleryltd@gmail.com
