Coffee Table in Rattan and Bamboo with Openwork Cross Design. French Work

This coffee table features an oblong structure with rounded ends, where the high belt is entirely perforated with a decor of crosspieces, chevrons, and bamboo sticks assembled with rattan core bindings. The upper frame, made of thick bent rattan, outlines the top, while the legs wrapped in bindings extend the uprights naturally. The inner interlacing forms a graphic architecture visible through transparency. This crosspiece decor in the Chinese style, reminiscent of the Chinese Chippendale spirit reinterpreted in natural materials, is characteristic of the French rattan production of the 1970s, which combined exoticism and weaving craftsmanship for vacation interiors as well as Parisian salons. Condition report: Generally good condition. Rattan and bamboo are healthy with a beautiful amber patina, bindings in place; the glass top intended to cover the frame is not present and can be easily custom-made. A coffee table full of character for a bohemian-style living room or a veranda.
