Fan-Shaped Table in the Style of Maison Alphonse Giroux, circa 1900
An elegant fan-shaped table, made around 1900 in the refined style of Maison Alphonse Giroux, renowned for its luxurious creations and pronounced taste for decorative exoticism.
This wooden table is adorned with a polychrome painted decoration in low relief, inspired by Orientalism. The lobed top depicts an open fan, delicately enlivened by a scene of cranes in a garden. The stretcher echoes this naturalistic theme with the representation of a bird accompanied by flowering branches. The table features a simulated drawer in the apron, contributing to the aesthetic balance of the piece. The slightly curved uprights rest on elegantly cabriole legs.
