Tafel, ovaal, met zes poten, staande op onderregels, die in gebeeldhouwde maskers eindigen c. 1900 - 1930

This oval table with six legs was made by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet. Imagine the artist, Lion Cachet, patiently carving each detail with focused intensity, embracing the challenge. Think of the masks at the base of the legs, how he might have shaped each expression, maybe finding a bit of himself reflected in their faces. I can almost feel the texture of the wood, smooth in some places, rough in others, each imperfection telling a story of the tree it once was. It reminds me of a time when craft was more than just function; it was a form of expression, an intimate dialogue between the artist and the material. The table feels like a conversation across time, linking Lion Cachet's era to ours, and reminding us of the ongoing dialogue between artists. I find a lot of inspiration in that.
