Jean-Louis Gaillemin, André Dubreuil: Poète du Fer, Paris, 2006, no. 242

Overall in very good original condition. When viewed in person, the tables present with great scale and an intricate geometric decorative motif to each tier. The metal surfaces with a few surface scratches, a few minor abrasions, a few areas of rubbing and light surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use. The tops of the tables with minor rubbing at the center, visible in the catalogue illustration. The overall surfaces with oxidation inherent in the making. A rare pair of tables by Dubreuil, the copper presents with great nuances when viewed in person and the decorative motif of the tops contrasts beautifully with the geometric form of the tables.
