1940s Art Deco Coffee Table by Jean-Charles Moreux
A Fine Art Deco Low Coffee Table Attributed to Jean-Charles Moreux, Dating from the 1940s
A pioneer of the Art Deco Neo-Baroque movement, Moreux’s work merges natural and primitive forms with playful Surrealist imagery. Known for his use of shell, plaster, exotic woods, and the forged iron from which this piece is cast, Moreux has finely crafted a smooth, stepped rectangular top to mount the glass surface, resting it on the bold heads of four pulling horses, drawn down into interlocking curved supports and legs that end cleverly in subtle hoofed feet.
Dimensions:
Height: 20.48 in (52 cm)
Diameter: 27.56 in (70 cm)

Rancho Santa Fe, California
