#01 is very much in the style of Dominique , mixing modern shape with classical design , this sidetable is big enough to double as a coffe table.Dominique which was founded by Andre Domin and Marcel Genevriere produced some of the best cubist furniture of their time , they always softened their creations with curves and elegant details.In the 1920's and 1930's mass producing was still in its infancy , copyright a new idea so it make it very difficult to be sure of the provenance .A lot of furniture maker just emulated the creation of the major designer like Rulhman and Leleu .All of the tables offered on my web site are a collection of the best quality available during the French art deco period from 1915 to 1940.

Jean Royere designed a lot of interior for the French Cruiseliner until the 1970 's , this side table came with a pair of chairs made of solid oak with a very light " cerusee" effect ( see armchairs) , This set has been made by " la Maison Mauge" for an armateur in Le Havre. Jean Royere did a lot of work there including the " Chamber of Commerce" . He was established in this town from 1926 to 1932 , futhermore he keep working with August Perret when he moved to Paris.
