The table combines a substantial stepped cast-iron base, with its distinctly geometric Art Deco profile, and a circular deep burgundy Bakelite top. The LV mark is clearly visible on the base, an important identifying detail. The central opening in the top was designed to accommodate a parasol, indicating that this example belonged to a particularly rare production intended for terrace use. The original deep burgundy finish has developed a beautiful patina over time, with gentle wear adding depth and variation to the surface. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Art Deco bistro table reflects Louis Vuitton’s expansion beyond travel goods into furniture and interior design during the interwar years. Following early collaborations such as the 1921 vanity designed with Pierre Legrain, the house worked with Éditions Rex in the 1930s on a limited series of bistro and pedestal tables for refined hospitality settings. Related examples have been linked to luxury cafés, restaurants, and rail travel, including the Orient Express. The parasol opening makes this example especially unusual, indicating a rare version intended for terrace use. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA collector’s piece as much as a functional table, it captures the chic sophistication of interwar French luxury, travel, and \u003ci\u003eart de vivre\u003c\/i\u003e. The deep burgundy top, architectural cast-iron base, and compact proportions give it an elegant, polished presence that feels distinctly Parisian. Used beside a sofa, armchair, or in an entryway, it brings a refined decorative note to a contemporary interior while retaining the character and cachet of an important piece of design history. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 27½\" high x 19¾\" diameter \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 70cm high x 50cm diameter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251410456914,"sku":"25182","price":4595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC04130_f8b1dd1b-e5e9-40b4-9970-4afc3c17ef53.jpg?v=1786625060","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/louis-vuitton-for-editions-rex-art-deco-bistro-table-in-burgundy-c-1930s-271-2-x-193-4","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
