Lot Essay

A similar table was shown in Edgar Brandt's booth at the 1925 Paris Exhibition des Arts Décoratifs et Industries Modernes. It stood in the center of a small narrow room, filled with the beautifully crafted ironwork by Brandt that defined the style of early twentieth century arts décoratifs. Additionally, Brandt displayed another version of this table in La Galerie Edgar Brandt, which he opened in 1925 at 27 Boulevard Malesherbes in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. Along with his own work he displayed objects by fellow artisans, whom he admired.
