$2,800.00Small, low accent table (table basse) in stained ash with round top supported by three solid rectangular legs designed by Jacques Quinet.
The piece has been polished, not restored, and retains patina/light wear (stain loss to the edge along with a few small scuffs, as shown).
Commissioned in 1965 from Jacques Quinet by the father of the original owner for his apartment which was part of the residence “Les Neiges d’Or” in the
Alpe d’Huez. We have the corresponding nightstands from the same commission listed separately.

Pair of Jacques Quinet Occasional Chairs in Leather and Mahogany
Exceptional pair of Jacques Quinet occasional or dining chairs made in 1957 for the Chamber of Commerce de La Rochelle. Quinet worked a lot for the Mobilier National – the prestigious French government body known for selecting and commissioning the best artists to furnish public spaces.
This pair retains their original leather and ‘L’ brass sabots (a signature attribute of Quinet). Very nice condition with only minor wear consistent with age (namely, one streak to the leather of one of the seat backs).
From a notable London, England collector. Originally purchased at Christie’s, London.
