It’s quite possibly the design work of that American lion of design, Gilbert Rohde, which would handily explain its “furniture as art” quality. I have found one Internet attestation to this table’s being the product of Rohde, but this could be "one person's opinion."

The glass top, apparently original, has a few minor scratches.

There are very minor dings and scratches to the wood surfaces… it’s clearly been treated with respect over the many decades. Someone attempted to touch up a few spots on the wood but employed a darker, non-conforming color, as you can see in the photos. The construction of this table is formidable; it’s quite heavy.

“Iconic?” Why not! This design brings to mind some of the most elegant French furniture of the Art Deco period. Ah, but it’s AMERICAN!

Dimensions: the table measures 33 ½ inches wide, 21 ½ deep, and it stands 18 inches high. See less
