This pair of Hollywood Regency console tables, made from bright, solid brass and white marble, were designed by Robert Thibier, for his own apartment and showroom located on Rue du Faubourg Saint HonorŽ in Paris. As you can see from the photographs, the pieces were part of a set that he designed specifically for his round dining room. In total, Thibier designed ten pieces in this style, and these two console tables are numbers one and nine. Though displaying the elegance and curves of typical French neoclassical style, this set is a unique creation. The brass legs, gleaming with a golden patina, take the form of a long-necked bird. Broad, dimensional feathers give way to the thinner, but strong, bird foot which anchors each table to the marble base. The golden and beautiful white marble color palette is timeless and chic, making this set ideal as decorative pieces in a grand entryway.
They were designed for a round piece, but can be adapted for a flat wall by resizing the marble on request. They were documented in a French magazine, and the original invoice stating 52.000 Francs for the consoles (equivalent of Û14,000 Û today) is available.
