Card Table 1935 - 1942

Ferdinand Cartier's "Card Table" is a detailed watercolor design of a classic card table, likely for a private commission, which is evident by the artist's signature. The design is characterized by elegant proportions, intricate details, and a refined choice of woods. The table features a curved top with inlaid wood patterns, thin tapering legs, and a polished finish, alluding to the high-quality craftsmanship of the era. This 1935-1942 design exemplifies the style of furniture in the first half of the 20th century, which often drew inspiration from earlier periods. The watercolor format suggests that this piece was intended to be a design concept rather than a completed piece, highlighting the artist's skills in visualizing and representing furniture designs.
