French Wrought Iron + Travertine Side Table in the Manner of René Prou, 1940s - 2 Available

$4,000.00

A 1940s French wrought-iron side table in the manner of René Prou, a defining figure of early 20th-century French decorative arts. His signature language is evident in the frame—softly curved legs and ball feet, joined by a decorative scrolled stretcher.

A custom honed travertine slab tops the piece, its pale veining contrasting the dark iron to feel both light and grounded. Style beside a chair, flanking a sofa, or as a petite nightstand.

Sold and priced individually.

René Prou (1889–1947), active during the Art Deco and postwar periods, was known for infusing industrial materials with a sense of grace and intimacy. This piece reflects his ability to bring a poetic quality to the utilitarian, rendering iron not as rigid support but as fluent gesture.

Prou was also a devoted pedagogue, teaching more than 3,000 students at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs over two decades—among them Charlotte Perriand and the postwar modernist designers Pierre Guariche and Alain Richard.
