The rectangular top displays warm brown streaks against a deep, dark background. Fine maple stringing traces its perimeter, creating a subtle contrast echoed around the two rectangular plinth bases.

Curved supports rise from each plinth and are connected by a longitudinal stretcher. Their flowing outline balances the clean geometry of the top, giving the table a distinctive architectural presence.

The glossy finish enhances the depth of the wood grain and highlights the pale maple details. The contrast between the slender edging and the substantial curved supports gives the design its particular elegance.

Restored, this Italian Art Deco dining table makes a striking centrepiece for a dining room, complementing both period furniture and contemporary interiors. See less
