Crafted in richly grained mahogany (or walnut-toned hardwood), the table features a clever flip-top mechanism that effortlessly doubles the surface area, transforming from a compact side or console table into a generous dining or game table.
The base is equally distinctive, showcasing a sculptural black-lacquered frame with gracefully tapered legs terminating in original brass casters, allowing for easy mobility. A recessed tray-style lower surface adds both visual interest and practical utility, a hallmark of Wormley’s understated yet sophisticated design approach.
With its clean lines, warm wood tones, and contrasting black and brass accents, this piece seamlessly bridges mid-century modern and traditional aesthetics—making it as versatile as it is striking.
A superb example of Dunbar’s exceptional craftsmanship and Wormley’s timeless design sensibility, ideal for both collectors and those seeking functional elegance.
