Large Art Deco coffee table. Circa 1930s
131 x 86 x 52cm high. Solid oak and glass.
Unique early c20th coffee table with its original feature glass top that seems to conjoin both Art Deco and Brutalist styles. The piece combines the robust qualities of the Brutalist style evident in its chunky wooden base with the elegance of the Art Deco style manifested in the pictorial glass top. These apparent combined qualities in this one piece that gives the table its unique style and character.
The deeply moulded relief images in the thick glass depicts two seagulls in flight. The underside of the glass is textured whereas the top is almost smooth.
The curved fan shape of this table (it is narrower at the front than the back) would make it highly suitable for particular spaces such as between sofas or in front of a curved sofa.
Price: 3.950 euro
