French Églomisé Mirror Round Coffee Table by René Drouet, 1940s
A French coffee table by René Drouet from the 1940s, where sculptural ironwork and luminous glass are brought into balance.
The round top is églomisé mirror, a technique in which the glass is worked from the reverse with metallic gilding, creating a surface layered with silvery blue tones and soft golden undertones. The finish has gently mellowed over time, giving the mirror a clouded depth that catches and diffuses light rather than reflecting it directly.
Resting beneath is a gilt wrought-iron base, its flowing lines curling into scrolls before meeting in a central ring and extending outward to pointed feet.
Trained at the École Boulle, René Drouet (1899–1993) apprenticed under Maurice Dufrène at Galeries Lafayette before joining DIM (Décoration Intérieure Mobilier) and later Jean Domin’s studio. His formation instilled both technical mastery and an eye for refinement, allowing him to create complete interiors as well as singular works.
A true devotee of Art Deco, he carried the style forward with French Forties flair, notably designing the Parc Monceau apartment for actor Charles Boyer and Pat Paterson.
