Know before you buy
The table retains its original finish, which has developed a rich, authentic patina over the last 80 years. This wear is consistent with its age and highlights the natural grain and quality of the oak.
At 23 inches high, this piece is lower than a standard dining table, which typically sits at 29 to 30 inches. It is best utilized as a statement coffee table or a low lounge table in a living area.
The table is exceptionally sturdy. The combination of a chunky column stem and a wide, square base with rounded edges provides a low center of gravity and excellent support for the solid 2-inch thick top.
Because this is a vintage piece with an original finish, we recommend dusting with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes, as these can alter the natural patina and the integrity of the wood.
With a 35.25-inch diameter, this table has a significant presence. It works best in rooms with ample space where its architectural ribbed detailing and substantial silhouette can serve as a focal point.
