USA, Late 20th Century

This Organic Modern Burl Wood Inlaid Tree Circular Table, in the style of Wendell Castle, is a masterful work of the late 20th-century art furniture movement. A true masterwork, it embodies the sculptural and organic aesthetic championed by Castle (1932–2018), blending artistry with functionality.

The large-scale design features a 2.5-inch-thick, 78-inch-diameter tabletop, showcasing exquisite book-matched burl, ebony, and ash wood inlays. These floating abstract configurations create a striking visual interplay of natural grains and textures. The table is constructed in two parts, with the top resting on an intricately carved and polychromed three-dimensional base, measuring 18 inches in diameter.

Designed with both form and function in mind, this table stands at a comfortable chair height of 29 inches and a table height of 30 inches, making it ideal for dining or as a center table. Its organic contours and meticulously carved details reflect the innovation and artistry of the American studio furniture movement.

A rare work, this table is ready to be placed and enjoyed, offering a bold fusion of sculptural presence and timeless craftsmanship—perfect for collectors and design enthusiasts seeking a one-of-a-kind, museum-quality masterwork. See less
