Monte Carlo Dining Table (Rectangular)

Description

The Monte Carlo Dining Table (Rectangular) was inspired by the work of Gilbert Poillerat during the Art Deco period. Art Deco was an influential visual arts design style that first appeared in France just before World War I and began flourishing internationally from the 1920s thru the 40s. It took its name from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) held in Paris in 1925. It is an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs with Machine Age imagery and materials. The style is often characterized by rich colors and bold geometric shapes. The Art Deco movement flourished during the interwar years when rapid industrialization was transforming culture. One of its major attributes was its embrace of technology. It has been defined as an assertively modern style that emphasizes symmetry rather than asymmetry. During its heyday Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.

The Monte Carlo Dining Table (Rectangular) base is made by a casting process. Molten metal is poured into a sand mold which can be used only once. The rough casting is painstakingly smoothed by a master craftsman. This is a long and laborious task requiring great skill and attention to detail. Exuding European style timeless elegance, it makes an exceptional dining room table for upscale residential and hospitality interiors. Robust metal construction allows the base to support a heavy top without flexing. Four polished bronze glides are provided which also serve as levelers – a useful feature to have when the floor is uneven. The table base is offered in a variety of finishes. Custom sizing is available.
