Crafted in solid maple during the celebrated Encore/Rio era, the piece features a long, gracefully contoured top with raised tray edges and the iconic central lift-top storage compartment.
The hinged lid opens smoothly to reveal generous interior storage—ideal for magazines, remotes, blankets, or media accessories—while the table rests on Haywood-Wakefield’s hallmark turned legs with warm, honey-golden finish tones characteristic of mid-century HW design.
The underside bears the authentic Haywood-Wakefield hallmark stamp and the factory code M493G, verifying its provenance and collectibility. With minimal age-appropriate wear, this rare form is both a functional showpiece and a desirable addition for HW collectors, designers, and lovers of American modern craftsmanship.
