The use of oak — in preference to the exotic veneers favoured by the \u003cem\u003egrand luxe\u003c\/em\u003e ateliers of Ruhlmann or Süe et Mare — situates this table within the more austere, rationalist current of Deco production associated with designers working for the bourgeois domestic market, where structural clarity and the inherent beauty of native French timber were prized over exotic materials. The sweeping curved bracket supports of the pedestal, with their almost organic fluidity, anticipate the biomorphic tendencies that would emerge more fully in the post-war period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench, circa 1930\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vault Sydney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42093875134519,"sku":"VS2271","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2322\/8433\/files\/VS23090333.jpg?v=1781956326","url":"https:\/\/thevaultsydney.com\/products\/art-deco-pedestal-dining-table-with-parquetry-top","provider":"The Vault Sydney","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
