The table offered appears to be a Muebles Austin-produced version of a table Michael van Beuren would have designed for Domus, with wonderfully hand-tied and woven rope cord and mahogany-stained wood frame.

The table is a true vintage 50's piece, is rare to the market, and has newly added glass for a contemporary functionality and usefulness. See less
