They looked to the simplicity of materials to be the voice of their collection, all expertly fabricated and finished. Polished metals and high gloss exotic veneers were commonplace and to this day remain unapologetically Pace.

A prime example from the Pace Collection, and one which is rarely seen, is this exquisitely executed Accent Table. The design is almost magical as the glass appears to simply float, only secured by one brass column of support. The piece comes together with just one threaded fastener under the solid brass disc which sits atop the glass. The assemblage of glistening bulldozed edge glass, polished brass, and simple wedge geometry create a piece of home décor akin to fine jewelry.

This table retains its original glass, while some minor wear exists, it is in very good condition with no chips whatsoever. The brass base shows signs of rich patina which adds to the piece’s seasoned appearance. There are no manufacturer’s markings on this piece which is typical of the Pace Collection in this era. This table can be used in a multitude of settings: a drink table, cigar table, between two club chairs, or accompanying a lounge - the options are limitless. See less
