The designs of Gilbert Poillerat and Jean-Henri Jansen inspired the attributes of the Gilt Twist Rectangular Table, the classic bronze predecessors that were made for Maison Jansen in the mid-twentieth century the jumping off point for the piece. The twisting wrought iron frame that flows around the top to embrace the inset glass has been treated to a gilt bronze finish. Wrought iron was particularly associated with Poillerat, who had a decidedly art deco bent to his designs.
