The table is made in a solid wood frame and part veneer, including an internal bar or magazine holder with on top a tray with ceramic glazed tiles, which can slide from left to right. The tray with figurative painting on the tiles is a work made by the Belgian ceramist Theo Melens, who was an important artist in Belgian ceramics. Melens designed ceramic figures for Belform from 1957 till 1958, all limited and piece-uniques. This unique bar table is in a very good vintage condition. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
