Unusual French Moderne Side Table with Exotic Wood and Chrome Detailing- Art Deco Collection

This striking French Moderne side table captures the bold sophistication of the Art Deco era with an uncommon design that blends industrial elegance and sculptural fluidity. The top features a highly figured exotic wood veneer, likely bird’s-eye maple, arranged in a radiant starburst pattern that draws the eye to its center. Framed with a dark lacquered edge, the top sits on a chrome tubular base that curves gracefully, forming both legs and side handles in an almost aerodynamic silhouette. The form evokes the streamlined sensibility of French Art Deco with an almost machine-age elegance, while the exotic grain gives it warmth and luxury.

The two-tiered center shelf, finished in deep black lacquer, adds functionality and visual rhythm between the curved metal supports. Its balanced geometry and dramatic material contrast make this a piece that feels both architectural and inviting. Whether placed in a Moderne interior, a Deco living room, or a contemporary setting with historical flair, this table offers a rare fusion of design innovation and high craftsmanship, distinctively French and decidedly Deco.
