This fine and rare fruitwood console by Maurice Dufrène is a similar design to that exhibited in Paris at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, where Art Deco was first presented as a uniform style. The piece possesses beautifully ribbed supports that spiral in different directions top and bottom, and a extraordinary rectangular top lined with an abstract inlay of amaranth, ebony, mother-of-pearl, and ebony.
