Lot Essay

This work has been authenticated by the estate of Paul Dupré-Lafon.

Dupré-Lafon created a number of these tables for the Villa Les Myrtes in the south of France. Originally intended for outdoor use, the comblanchien stone and wrought-iron were materials selected to withstand the elements.
