About This Object
An impossibly chic pair of low tables that will elevate your cocktails, lamps or objects, whatever you put on them. England, 20th century.
Why we like it
Timeless classical design and superb craftsmanship. Perfect as lamp tables, by the ends of a sofa, even as bedside tables for a low bed.
Design
The design of these elegant tables is informed by the remains of bronze furniture used by Ancient Romans, unearthed during the excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum, and also depicted on exquisite frescoes that adorned the walls of their 'triklinia' - dining and entertainment rooms. The design incorporates some symbolic elements familiar to the ancients, particularly the 'fasciae' (one of the symbols of democracy in Ancient Rome) that form the supports of these tables.
Condition
Beautifully worn antique condition, freshly waxed, stable and ready to use.
