The andré arbus collecTion 29
no. 7363
Designed for the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs in 1947, the Trio Table projects a lighter and more whimsical
approach to neoclassical furniture. With peace restored, Arbus literally blunts the warrior arrows of Campaign
furniture. At the same time, he rejects the shield-like marble top of another era in favor of a looking glass. Even
the costly metal leaf finishes, in vogue a decade earlier, but largely forgotten during the war, make their return.
It was a new style for a new day. Circa 1947.
The top of this item features antiqued mirror with an inset frame and a thick wire gallery recalling the classical
Wall of Troy motif. A cast ring element serves as a stylized quiver firming the base. Arrowheads and feathers add
a sense of dimension.
