Vintage 1960s coffee table by Roger Capron, Herbier model.

We love its round shape, with legs joined by a stretcher that circles the table, and the contrast between the graphic vertical lines and the circular top.

This model rarely comes up for sale: where we are used to ceramic tops in cool beige terracotta tones, this table has tiles alternating between terracotta, a shaded near-black colour and glossy white tiles with the herbier motifs in the centre.

So it has tremendous elegance and a unique character, and we appreciate the work on colours, shades and gradients across the tiles. The contrast between the matt tiles and the shine of the white ones gives the whole piece an unusual touch.

Very good overall condition, patina from use.
