Ritz Hotel Paris Pedestal Table in Gilt Metal, circa 20th Century

This elegant pedestal side table was created for use at the Hôtel Ritz Paris, which opened in 1898 and quickly established itself as one of the most celebrated luxury hotels of the modern era. Executed in gilt metal, the table features a circular top supported by a finely turned central column and a stepped circular base. Its restrained classical proportions reflect the refined decorative language that defined the Ritz’s interiors throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries.
The table was acquired from a sale of deaccessioned furnishings from the hotel prior to its recent renovations. Furniture commissioned for the Ritz was designed to balance durability with understated opulence, ensuring both longevity and visual harmony within the hotel’s lavish yet disciplined rooms.
The presence of the original “Ritz Hotel Paris” plaque affixed to the piece firmly confirms its provenance and elevates it beyond a purely decorative object, situating it within the material history of one of the world’s most iconic hospitality institutions. Suitable for use as a side or occasional table, the piece offers both refined aesthetic presence and notable historical significance.
