Styled after the iconic French mid-century look of Maison Jansen and Pierre Vandel, as well as the geometric 1970s Italian designs of Romeo Rega and Guy Lefèvre, this narrow profile frame has been completely reimagined from its original sleek chrome into a high-end designer statement piece. The slender metal structure showcases an interlocking geometric Greek key and Chinoiserie fretwork panel design along the sides that beautifully captures the essence of classic French Art Deco and post-modern luxury popularized by Milo Baughman and Maitland-Smith.The newly painted custom finish boasts hand-applied Florentine gold leaf work layered with a multi-layered antiquing glaze and meticulous fly speckling. This multi-step process eliminates the flat undertones of the original chrome and replaces them with the authentic depth, soft luster, and weathered character of historical antique gilt iron furniture. Outfitted with three clear tempered glass insert shelves, this open-air display shelf functions effortlessly as an elegant entryway landing, a sophisticated sofa table, a minimalist media console, or a Grandmillennial style open bar cart. It is a one-of-a-kind vintage treasure that seamlessly marries mid-century structural form with old-world European artisan craftsmanship. See less
