This pair of mid-20th century wrought iron guéridon tables, designed by the iconic Jean-Michel Frank for the argentine company Comte, exemplifies Frank's innovative approach to design. Jean-Michel Frank (1895-1941), a french interior designer, was known for his minimalist interiors and his ability to blend various styles and cultures. He famously stated that “the noble frames that came to us from the past can receive today’s creations,” reflecting his philosophy of integrating modern elements with historical contexts. His work often softened the severity of modern design with playful combinations of styles, materials, and textures, creating richly layered compositions.
The company Comte, based in Argentina, was instrumental in bringing Frank's designs to life. Renowned for their attention to details, Comte executed Frank's vision with precision.
These guéridon tables feature round tops adorned with equestrian-inspired hanging rings, supported by a tripod stand. Crafted from painted wrought iron and sheet metal, they date from the early 1940s. The design's blend of functionality and elegance, along with the expert craftsmanship, highlights the significance of Frank’s collaboration with Comte. These tables not only serve as functional pieces but also as artistic expressions of mid-century modern and Art Déco styles, making them a valuable addition to any discerning collector's ensemble.
The pieces exhibit traces of use and the passage of time, with one of the tables showing slight oxidation on the upper metal sheet as shown in the pictures.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
