Roger Capron French Ceramic Coffee Table Model TN 22 Garrigue Leaf Decorations
This coffee table was made by French ceramist Roger Capron in the 1970s. Structure in solid wood and the top is made of ceramic tiles with a herbarium pattern. Each impression is of a plant of the Garrigue or scrubland surrounding Vallauris. Thus it is called Les Herbiers. Each tile is unique, in fact it is from a natural plant embedded in the earth before firing that the pattern is formed, like a fossil. In very good vintage condition. Signed R Capron. This series of tables with impressed plants has become more and more highly sought after in the Capron lexicon. As Pavilion specializes in the work of artists and designers of France and Italy we love this table for its vibrant and happy quality celebrating the life of the south of France.
