Design 1968, I suspect this piece was manufactured in 1969 because it's accompanying sofa carries that date. This listing for table only. circular sofa is being offered in separate listing.

58" diameter, ~15' main table height. Outer rosewood portion rotates lazy susan style around the center pillar, which is white laminate at top and a white lacquered cylindrical bent ply base.

The piece has been restored using professional techniques and materials- Mohawk sealers and pre-catalyzed lacquer.

Color is rich and tends toward darker side. Some preexisting vintage irregularities may be somewhat apparent. There appear to be some mild striations visible in the right light, which are probably a reflection of some very minor irregularity in substrate. Some minor irregularities may be visible under very close scrutiny. Under normal viewing circumstances the table looks fantastic.

There is a very slight amount of "play" in the setup of the spinning system--the table may appear very slightly higher on one side than the other in relation to the center column. The function is perfect and nothing is broken or compromised. Table spins well and freely with a moderate amount of effort.

There are some moderate irregularities to column base, primarily at bottom. Some minor chipping has been dressed up.

The entire table presents as a striking and beautiful vintage piece!
