Wood, painted and partially gilded with gold leaf, with original etched glass top.

A rare example of an expressively designed coffee table from the Berlin furniture culture of the 1920s. The vividly modelled wooden construction is painted and partially accented with gold leaf, effectively highlighting the sculptural design language.

The original etched glass top forms an elegant contrast to the powerful design of the base and underlines the decorative character of the piece.

The table combines the dynamic design of Expressionism with the decorative tendencies of the early Art Deco period and is a characteristic example of avant-garde furniture design during the Weimar Republic.
