Mathieu Matégot (1910–2001)
“Soumba” nesting tables, France, circa 1953–1955
An exceptionally rare and entirely original set of three Soumba nesting tables by Mathieu Matégot, executed in perforated sheet steel with original brass sabots and retaining their complete period screws.
In a market now saturated with later reproductions and misattributed examples — conservatively over 90% — this set stands apart for its unquestionable authenticity. The honest, untouched patina of the perforated steel, together with the naturally aged brass feet and fully original hardware, confirms their status as true period pieces. The refined proportions, material integrity, and unmistakable construction reflect Matégot’s pioneering mastery of perforated metal.
Dimensions (largest):
Width: 34 cm
Depth: 29 cm
Height: 37 cm
A rare opportunity to acquire an authentic and complete set of one of Matégot’s most celebrated and increasingly scarce models, preserved in original condition.
