Their dreamlike garden scenes depict elegantly dressed figures among flowering plants, trees, birds and a fountain, lending the table the character of a jewel-like work of decorative art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Théodore Chanut was a decorator, cabinetmaker, ceramist and master metalworker specializing in \u003cem\u003edinanderie\u003c\/em\u003e, the art of shaping and ornamenting metal by hand.
