An exceptional Hollywood Regency coffee table featuring a sculptural gilt metal wheat sheaf base supporting a substantial round glass top. Beautifully crafted, the base is formed as a hand-tied bundle of wheat stalks that gracefully fan outward into detailed ears of wheat and flowing leaves, creating a striking composition that is as much a work of art as it is a functional piece of furniture.
The iconic wheat sheaf design traces its inspiration to the legendary Paris apartment of Coco Chanel at 31 Rue Cambon, where bundles of golden wheat were displayed throughout her home as symbols of prosperity, abundance, and good fortune. Chanel’s love of the motif inspired celebrated French goldsmith Robert Goossens to create sculptural wheat sheaf tables that became some of the most recognizable furnishings in 20th-century French interior design. Their timeless elegance soon influenced designers across Europe, including celebrated decorating houses such as Maison Jansen, helping establish the wheat sheaf table as an enduring icon of Hollywood Regency style.
Finished in a rich gilt patina, the intricately detailed base catches the light beautifully, while the thick round glass top appears to float effortlessly above the sculptural form, allowing every angle of the remarkable craftsmanship to be appreciated. Equally at home in a classic Parisian apartment, sophisticated contemporary residence, or luxury penthouse, the design blends organic beauty with refined glamour.
