Know before you buy
This table is crafted from a combination of premium walnut and mahogany woods. It also features a distinctive brass stretcher that provides both structural stability and a refined aesthetic accent.
The integrated lower shelf spans the length of the table, offering a convenient surface for books, magazines, or decorative objects. It helps keep the main tabletop clear while maintaining the piece's sleek, open silhouette.
Like most vintage brass, the stretcher may develop a natural patina over time, which many collectors prefer. If you wish to maintain a high shine, you can use a gentle, non-abrasive brass polish periodically.
With dimensions of 48 inches wide by 28 inches deep, this table offers a generous surface area without feeling overly bulky. Its open-shelf design and slim profile help maintain a sense of airiness in smaller or mid-sized living spaces.
Standing at 15 inches high, this table is designed at a classic height that pairs comfortably with most mid-century modern sofas and lounge chairs. It is low enough to maintain a clean visual line across your seating area.
