French Art Déco console table in Macassar ebony, circa 1930.
The slender, semi-circular body features elaborately book-matched Macassar ebony veneer, combined with deep black high-gloss lacquer. The front has two slightly concave drawers with round chrome fittings. In addition, the console is supported by four tapered legs. A black-lacquered lower shelf provides additional storage space.
