Jean Royère
A Rare "Flaque" Coffee Table
circa 1948
gilt brass, marble
11 1/4 x 50 1/8 x 26 3/4 in. (28.5 x 127.6 x 67.9 cm)
Overall in very good condition. A highly sought-after and rare model by Royère in well-preserved condition. The tabletop inset has been professionally replaced with a black marble top in very good condition overall. The marble with light scuffing and scratches throughout consistent with gentle use.
Upon close inspection, the marble presents with some variety to the stone surface and veining as well as inherent very minor variations in color. The patinated metal panels are in very good condition overall with some light surface scratches, discoloration and very minor oxidation. Some very minor soiling and verdigris marks concentrated to the inside panels and consistent with age.
