A beautifully proportioned and highly refined MCM coffee table, circa 1960s. Floating-like top, elegant in its restraint, the design balances sculptural form with understated sophistication, reflecting the clean, modernist language.
Crafted in richly toned Mahogany, the table is defined by its softly rounded rectangular top and finely tapered legs, joined by an architectural under frame with beautifully curved supports that create a subtle sense of movement and lightness. The proportions feel considered from every angle, giving the piece a floating appearance while maintaining excellent structural integrity.
A quietly striking piece that lends itself effortlessly to both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors. Note dimensions for accurate proportions.
Condition:
Fully restored, the mahogany has been carefully revived to enhance its natural warmth and depth, while preserving the character of the piece. Included with the table is a glass top (not photographed), intended to safeguard the timber surface in daily use. The glass is not new and presents with a few scratches, grazes etc.
Dimensions:
120cm W x 51cm D x 40.5cm H

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item description. While we make every effort to restore our furniture to its original state, most pieces date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a result, and despite restoration, signs of their vintage nature and previous life may still be visible. Light traces of restoration may remain visible, consistent with authentic vintage furniture. In some cases, minor adjustments may also have been made during the restoration process to ensure the piece remains functional and usable. We will point out any notable aspects where possible. We encourage in-store viewing or careful review of photographs before purchase.
Transport & Handling Note:
All items are carefully wrapped and prepared for transport by us (not the courier) to ensure safe handling. Once items leave our premises, we cannot take responsibility for their treatment by third-party transporters. We strongly recommend arranging goods-in-transit insurance for comprehensive protection.
Due to the fragility of glass, we do not recommend shipping glass items outside of Gauteng.

As with many Mid-Century pieces, this item features a thoughtful combination of solid wood and high-quality wood veneer. Veneer has a long and respected tradition in furniture making, valued for both its aesthetic and structural benefits. When crafted with skill and applied in substantial thickness, vintage veneer proves highly durable, allowing for careful restoration, including retouching, sanding, and refinishing without compromising the integrity of the piece.
