The finish has gently mellowed over time, giving the mirror a clouded depth that catches and diffuses light rather than reflecting it directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResting 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrained 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52639073829175,"sku":null,"price":6800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/l53rK1TUviT4t5aHjB2h0L1EWG2nd0taJLsykWOGvz8.jpg?v=1783718126","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/french-eglomise-mirror-coffee-table-by-rene-drouet-1940s","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
