The organic lines and the unusual checkerboard motif reflect the inspiration drawn from nature and the reform ideals of that era. Likely made in a German or Austrian cabinetmaking workshop between 1900 and 1920, this table is an outstanding testament to the design quality and craftsmanship of the period.

Unique pieces of this kind were presented at important arts and crafts exhibitions such as Paris in 1900 and Turin in 1902 and are now considered icons of European design. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
