Platner End Table For Sale on 1stDibs
At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal platner end table for your home. Each platner end table for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using metal, glass and nickel. Your living room may not be complete without a platner end table — find older editions for sale from the 20th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. When you’re browsing for the right platner end table, those designed in Mid-Century Modern and Modern styles are of considerable interest. A well-made platner end table has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by Warren Platner, Knoll and Laurel Lamp Company are consistently popular.
How Much is a Platner End Table?
Prices for a platner end table can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $720 and can go as high as $4,200, while the average can fetch as much as $2,050.
Finding the Right End-tables for You
Beyond just providing additional tabletop space for your living room, an attractive vintage end table can help you organize as well as display books and decorative objects.
The term “end table” is frequently used interchangeably with “coffee table,” and while these two furnishings have much in common, each offers their own distinctive benefits in your space.
Your end table is likely going to stand as tall as the arms of your sofa, and its depth will match the seating. These attributes allow for tucking the table neatly at the end of your sofa in order to provide an elevated surface between your seating and the wall. End tables are accent pieces — they’re a close cousin to side tables, but side tables, not unlike the show-stealing low-profile coffee table, are intended to be positioned prominently and have more to do with the flow and design of a room than an end table, which does a great job but does it out of the way of everything else.
End tables with a drawer or a shelf can easily stow away books or television remotes. Living-room end tables frequently assist with lighting, specifically as they’re often positioned adjacent to a wall. Their height and compact tabletop render them ideal for table lamps and plants, particularly if parked near a window.
And given their practicality, there is no shortage of simple, streamlined end tables from mid-century modern favorites such as Baker Furniture Company, Dunbar and Knoll that will serve your clutter-clearing minimalist efforts or wide-open loft space well. But over the years, furniture designers have taken to venturesome experimentation, crafting tables from fallen trees, introducing organic shapes and playing with sculptural forms, so much so that your understated end table might eventually become the centerpiece of a room, no matter where you choose to place it. One-of-a-kind contemporary designs prove that there are endless options for what an end table can be, while furniture makers working in the Art Deco style have proven that end tables can be stacked, staggered and nested at will, creating all kinds of variations on this popular home accent.
Find an extraordinary variety of antique, new and vintage end tables on 1stDibs today.
