MARTIN-BREY, Japanese-style table with glazed earthenware top

Dimensions
Width 36'' ¼  92cm
Height 30'' ¼  77cm
Depth: 28''   71cm

Origin:
late 19th century

A Japanese-style coffee table in blackened and carved wood, resting on a base with a low stretcher and cabriole legs with scrolls. The tabletop is made of glazed earthenware with polychrome decoration on a turquoise background, adorned with a rich stylized floral motif arranged in a central reserve and symmetrical borders. The overall composition is inspired by Far Eastern decorative arts, characteristic of the taste for Japonisme in the second half of the 19th century. The tile is signed on the reverse "Martin-Brey" and bears an impressed number (50–70), indicating production by a workshop or publisher specializing in the distribution of decorative designs. The edge of the wooden tabletop is finely engraved with geometric motifs of Oriental inspiration, perfectly consistent with the tile's decoration. The simple yet elegant structure of the base highlights the tabletop and testifies to the quality of French decorative production. French work from the late 19th century, around 1870–1890, in the style of Japonisme which spread after the Universal Exhibition of 1867.
