ANTIQUE BENTWOOD TABLE - RARELY AVAILABLE
We are really lucky to be able to offer for sale this rarely available and much sought after antique Bentwood table. It would look superb in any retro, vintage, shabby chic or industrial type interior. We often refurbish and sell Bentwood chairs but we rarely have the opportunity to deal with tables such as this one. Designed by Michael Thonet, who was a German-Austrian cabinet maker who started experimenting with Bentwood designs in the s. His design success came from the fact that he produced light, strong wood bent into carved, graceful shapes by forming the wood in hot steam. This enabled him to design entirely novel, elegant, lightweight, durable and comfortable furniture which appeals strongly to fashion - a complete departure from the heavy, carved designs of the past and whose aesthetic and functional appeal even remains today. All these lovely features are aptly found in this table. Dimensions are as follows: Table top diameter 77cm Height 73cm Overall, this table is in lovely vintage condition and we are regularly caring for it so its condition is vastly improving with every polish! As with any vintage furniture, it shows signs of use but this is due to its age and intended use. The top has some scratches, scuffs and chips.
