“Herbier” Coffee Table

Roger Capron · Signed

France, Circa 1970

Vintage ceramic and wood coffee table by Roger Capron, featuring the “Herbier” decoration, signed and crafted in Vallauris circa 1970. Having established himself in the renowned pottery town in 1946, Capron founded one of the most inventive ceramic workshops of the post-war era. His ceramic-tile tables, and particularly those bearing the Herbier motif, rank among his most sought-after creations. The tabletop is composed of tiles radiating outward from a central medallion. Actual leaves and twigs, pressed directly into the clay prior to firing, left their imprint: the botanical veins form a delicate herbarium that enlivens the entire surface. Nuances of beige and ochre contrast with the dark brown borders and the outer ring of reddish-brown glazed tiles edging the top. The light grouting accentuates the geometric composition, while the wooden band and base extend the overall warmth of the piece. At the intersection of furniture design and the fire arts, this table unites the discipline of graphic composition with the freedom of natural forms. Its deep tones and botanical motif lend a warm, distinguished presence to any living room, suited to both vintage and contemporary interiors. Shades of beige and ochre contrast with the dark brown borders and the peripheral ring of reddish-brown glazed tiles. The light grouting highlights this geometric composition, while the wooden trim and base continue the piece's inherent warmth. At the crossroads of furniture and the ceramic arts, this table brings together graphic precision with the diversity of organic forms. Its botanical decoration and rich hues provide a warm, inviting presence at the heart of a living room.
