The table showcases abstract, architectural etched motifs along the apron and legs—hallmarks of Rohne’s celebrated metalwork from the late 1960s and 1970s. Each etched panel presents a unique, fluid composition, creating a sculptural presence that reads from every angle. The contrast between the warm brass tones, high-gloss black lacquer, and floating glass top exemplifies the bold, luxurious aesthetic for which Mastercraft is known.

This example does not retain a Mastercraft label, which is common and well-documented with Bernard Rohne–designed Mastercraft pieces from this period, as many were produced without permanent markings or originally had paper labels that were lost over time. Attribution is based on documented design characteristics, materials, construction, and etched brass technique consistent with known Rohne work.

A highly collectible and decorative statement piece, ideal for interiors ranging from Hollywood Regency to mid-century modern and contemporary design settings. See less
