The rectangular frame is constructed from warm-toned wood, its apron articulated with finely fluted detailing that wraps the perimeter in a continuous, rhythmic band. Slender, tapered legs descend from softly rounded corners, each capped with subtle brass sabots. The proportions are light and precise, giving the table an airy presence. A thick glass top with a beveled edge rests above the wooden frame, allowing the craftsmanship beneath to remain fully visible while adding lift to the composition. This piece works beautifully as a coffee table or low centerpiece, capturing the decorative language associated with Colli’s Italian designs of the period. Condition: Very good vintage condition. The wood frame shows light surface wear consistent with age, including minor scuffing to the legs and apron. Rich patina to the brass, while the glass top displays light surface scuffs. The top is removable and secured using screws. Sturdy and structurally sound throughout. See less
