The young Marcel Coard’s career as a furniture designer was initiated in the summer of 1914 with a commission from the great connoisseur collector Jacques Doucet, who was embarking on a project to furnish his Paris home in the most avant-garde style. This commission led to others, for Doucet himself and for further clients impressed by Coard’s feel for materials and for striking new forms. He used vellum, snakeskin, lacquer, mother-of-pearl, ivory, lapis lazuli, and galuchat to great visual and tactile effect – and, as in the present table, he very occasionally used the technique of crushing eggshell into tiny particles in a lacquered ground to cover panels, or, as we see here, the entire surface of a design.
