Hand-crafted circa 1980 during the zenith of Dickinson's celebrated career, this table is far more than a functional piece—it's a conversation starter and a timeless embodiment of artistry. Constructed with unparalleled craftsmanship, the table is crafted using plaster meticulously layered over a robust rebar steel frame. This lends the table not only exceptional durability but also a tactile richness that invites touch. Painted in a sophisticated white, it serves as both a neutral palette and a stand-alone showpiece for any room.

Its distinctive three-legged structure, each leg of a stylized and substantial form, culminate in feet deeply inspired by traditional African design. The table's conical top serves as a harmonious counterpoint to its robust legs, offering an elegant display surface that complements its sculptural base. Measuring 20” in height and 17” in diameter, it seamlessly fits into a variety of spaces while adding a touch of grandeur.

Adding to its value, the table bears the impressed signature “John Dickinson / San Francisco” on the bottom of one of its feet, signifying its authentic provenance. Featured in John Dickinson's 1970s catalog, this table is not just a piece of furniture; it's a part of design history. See less
