Description
A Rare Italian, Mid-Century Modern, Square Form, Double Tiered and Cantilevered Coffee Table Attributed to Fontana Arte circa 1960. This elegant, visionary modernist table presents a diverse blend of materials in combination with a rare form and refined details. The top level is in thick Italian green tinted glass and the cantilevered lower level is a movable, sliding shelf allowing placement as desired. The shelf is composed of a solid brass frame and black enameled steel rods. Both levels provided interesting materials and offer refreshing transparency. The black enameled steel frame has beautiful brass detailing both on the feet and the caps will hold the glass in place. A small masterpiece of design and functionality becomes a pleasure for the eyes. Dimensions: H 14.5 x 26 x 26; Height of lower level shelf is 10.5”.

T. Thomas Gargiulo came from a dual background as a Ph.D. in Psychology with extensive training in Art History and Anthropology to form Thomas Gallery in downtown Manhattan in 1997 to balance intellectual with design pursuits. Since its inception the gallery has seen decorative arts as a vibrant representation of human culture of each age and as a portal to understanding it. P: 917.434.4032 E: thomasgalleryltd@gmail.com
