Corkscrew Side Table with Circular Top, Europe 1940s (sold)
Corkscrew Side Table with Circular Top, Europe 1940s (sold)
Side tables are often the unsung heros of furniture types. Serving not only as catch-alls for drinks, vases or magazines, they are also decorative power players in any room, adding just the right colour or texture to a space.
With a sculptural column base, this side table has an aesthetic that is both historic and modern at the same time. The striking centre column is shaped out of turned solid wood, creating a grooved pattern. The column is truly reminiscent of a corkscrew, thanks to the cut-outs masterfully placed between the table’s ‘feet’ that are resting on the circular base. The fluidity of the carvings creates a harmonious contrast with the angular structure at the bottom of the table, resulting in a design feast that calls for the appreciation of artisan woodworking. The base visually balances the rounded top, while creates a grounded look, but thanks to the airiness around the feet, the table still appears light. The different carved shapes of the wood on the column and the impeccable joinery illustrate the craftsmanship and originality of the designer and maker of this table. The solid wood is seemingly shaped into intricate forms effortlessly, a sign of a great quality piece.
Even though they have been altered in form and function with various practices and styles going in and out of vogue, side tables are still beloved today. Additionally, the versatility and timeless elegance of darker woods make this side table a captivating choice for those seeking to infuse their interiors with a touch of refined luxury.
