Two rare gilt metal tables / pedestal tables by Robert Thibier. They are taller than the usual Thibier model which is less than 40cm high. In excellent condition.

The square is 35cm and 50cm high.

Born in Paris into a wealthy family, Robert Thibier (1926-2001) studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and became an interior designer in 1951. With offices located at the most prestigious addresses in Paris (Place de la Madeleine and Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré), he catered to a clientele of celebrities and socialites, including the Rothschild family, as well as sportsmen and industrialists.

An interior designer rather than a furniture designer, Thibier produced some furniture for his clients, with the intention of creating "modern antiques" that harmonize with other European antiques and convey a strong impression of opulence. To achieve this, he created geometric wrought iron furniture covered with a very subtle gold leaf. Some of his pieces are signed and numbered.

In the 1970s, Robert Thibier also collaborated with Maison Ramsay and created some of their most famous creations.

His grave in the Montparnasse cemetery is a testament to his sense of style.
