A Rare Pair of Italian MId-Century Modern Aluminum & Glass Side, End or Coffee Tables attributed to Fontana Arte from the 1935 to 1950 period. These tables go back to the early use of aluminum in Italian design in the 1930's. The bases are iconic and dramatic in form resembling a spider. The bold angled legs and angled glass supports elegantly emanate from a circular central focus point adding their vibrancy and vitality. Their black finish adds to their minimalist drama and they are topped by thick Italian glass. Dimensions: Each Base is 32.75W 13D x 15 H. Each Glass is 34.75W x 17D (0.6H). Priced as a Pair.

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
