Coffee table
This kidney shaped coffee table from the 1940s is a striking example of the period’s refined and sculptural approach to modern furniture, combining an elegant organic tabletop with a more architectural base. The top is crafted in walnut, featuring a rich, warm tone and beautifully vivid grain movement, with dramatic swirling patterns that give the surface a lively and almost three-dimensional depth. The softly curved outline enhances the expressive character of the wood and creates a dynamic presence from every angle.
The table stands on black lacquered legs with a slightly tapered, flared profile that adds a subtle sense of lightness while still feeling grounded and stable. A brass stretcher construction connects the legs and introduces a contrasting metallic accent, giving the piece a sophisticated mix of materials typical for the era. Together, the dark lacquer, golden brass, and glowing walnut create a balanced palette that feels both bold and timeless.
The condition is good, and the table has been restored, presenting very well with an attractive finish that highlights the walnut’s natural figure while maintaining a clean and confident overall impression.
