Edouard Colonna Mahogany Side Table
This mahogany side table, with carved decoration in an abstract curvilinear vegetal motif, is a classically French Art Nouveau piece by Edouard Colonna. While he occasionally started with a carved floral motif, Colonna abstracted nature to create the impression of a flower bud or bloom, held within a carefully-constructed geometric scheme. This signature design scheme is evident in the delicate carvings ornamenting each leg of the table, and in the overall rhythm of the piece.
