About the Item

Unique painted wood coffee table created circa 1930 by Maurice Jallot. Its elegant and refined structure perfectly embodies the aesthetic developed by the Jallot workshop during this period, combining architectural volumes with the finesse of exceptional craftsmanship. A vision of the unique piece deeply cherished by the designer, where luxury is expressed above all through excellence of execution and the singularity of each creation. Finished in a delicate ivory paint, the table rests on a subtly curved base terminating in brass-studded sabots, a characteristic detail of Jallot’s work, who employed metal with great restraint, primarily as an element of protection or reinforcement. A composition of soft and balanced lines supporting a top with a slight raised border forming a delicate frame. The top is adorned with a magnificent hand-painted polychrome decor depicting flying birds alongside insects. Executed with precision and lightness, the decoration recalls the Art Nouveau heritage passed down by his father, Léon Jallot, with whom Maurice began his career after leaving the École Boulle. A remarkable piece, fully restored in our workshop.

Maurice Jallot Lacquer and Verre Eglomise Coffee Table

Maurice Jallot Lacquer and Verre Eglomise Coffee Table

By Maurice Jallot

Located in Philadelphia, PA

French Forties Art Deco coffee table by Maurice Jallot, circa 1947, in cream lacquer with original verre eglomise glass top and gilt bronze mounts. 40” long x 17” deep x 17” high. Pictured in Mobilier et Decoration, 1947. Maurice Jallot (1900-1971) Maurice Jallot was born in Paris during the 1900 Exposition Universelle – an auspicious beginning for a career in the arts. He studied at the Ecole Boulle in Paris and upon graduating, joined his father’s (Leon Jallot) studio in 1921. He left for a while to gain outside experience and rejoined the firm in 1930. A versatile and imaginative designer, Maurice Jallot exhibited a range of pieces and ensembles at the annual salons, some in partnership with his father and some singly. For the 1925 L'Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes - the World's fair held in Paris, France, from April to October 1925 the Jallots provided furnishings for the Hotel du Collectionneur (grand salon), Ambassade Francaise, La Societe Noel, La Maison de Bretagne, and Gouffe Jeune. Their furniture in the 1920s was fabricated from woods – palisander, walnut, pearwood, amboyna, camphor. From the mid-1920s the Jallots faced the Challenge common to all woodworkers: whether to adjust to, or fight, the revolutionary introduction of glass and metal. They chose the former, introducing a distinctive range of modern furniture: stainless steel tables, mirrored cabinety, etc. Maurice participated in the interior decoration for A French Embassy...
