Description
This exceptional center table was produced in the Netherlands during the 1920s, most likely by the company H.P. Mutters & Zoon in The Hague, with the design attributed to Carel Adolphe Lion Cachet.
The striking design features a four-legged base and a round top crafted from a combination of solid oak and Macassar ebony. The circular oak top is refined with a thin round trim of Macassar, followed by a more substantial, contrasting band in solid Macassar. The contrast between the lighter oak and the darker Macassar, with its distinct grain, adds to the elegance of the design. The four outward-curved legs are beautifully carved and profiled, with detailed feet. Between each leg and the center of the table, a wavy lattice of solid Macassar is adorned with ocular-shaped cutouts, enhancing the table’s visual impact.
The originality of the design, paired with the high level of craftsmanship, makes this table a unique piece, suitable as either a center or large side table.
The table is in very good condition, with only very minor signs of wear consistent with age and use.
About C.A. Lion Cachet
Lion Cachet (1864–1945) is primarily associated with the Art Nouveau movement, though his work also reflects influences from the Arts & Crafts movement. His designs feature curvilinear forms, organic motifs, and elaborate decorative elements characteristic of Art Nouveau. At the same time, his emphasis on craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and traditional techniques aligns with the principles of the Arts & Crafts movement.
Cachet was also an important precursor to the Amsterdam School. His decorative approach, use of rich materials, and intricate detailing influenced this architectural and design movement. The Amsterdam School (active around 1910–1930) was known for its expressive, sculptural forms, rich ornamentation, and traditional craftsmanship—elements found in Cachet’s work. While he was not formally part of the movement, his ornamental and handcrafted style in furniture, bookbinding, and interior design helped pave the way for Amsterdam School designers.
In summary, Cachet’s work bridges Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts, and the early Amsterdam School, solidifying his role as a significant figure in Dutch decorative arts.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
