A vintage Pierre Jeanneret side table from Chandigarh, measuring 32.25"W x 23"D x 27.5"H.
The furniture developed for Chandigarh paired practical institutional functions with direct, clearly expressed construction. In a table, the dimensions of the work surface, the geometry of the supports and signs of use are essential to identifying the individual piece. Similar forms can have different ownership histories, so inscriptions and provenance should follow the photographed object itself.
The 32.25-by-23-inch top and 27.5-inch height place this side table in a different scale from the low circular PJ-TB-04-A table. Its use as a compact work or occasional surface fits the economical furnishings developed for Chandigarh’s interiors. The record presently gives dimensions and collection provenance but no verified stencil, material close-up or named original building. Finish, exact timber and any lettering should therefore be checked from this table’s own images before a more specific history is published.
Provenance: Private collection, Chandigarh, India. Accompanied by a Studio Balestra Certificate of Authenticity. Contemporary upholstery, renewed cane or webbing, where present, is described separately from the vintage structure.
