Huntington Aviation Industrial Art Deco Aluminium Frame Bedside Table + Drawer

About the Item

We are delighted to this stunning original Huntington Aviation Art Deco aluminium bedside table with single drawer This piece is part of a suite, I have in total a bedside table, a tall boy cupboard, the head and foot bed boards, a large double wardrobe and the dressing table, all other items are listed under my other items This piece is stamped to the rear as follows “DESIGNED AND PATENTED BY P.B. COW AND COMPANY LIMITED MADE BY HUNTINGTON AVIAVATION LTD BRITSH AND FOREIGN PATENTS APPLIED FOR. These pieces are highly collectable and coveted, there is a dressing table in the Victorian & Albert museum, they have it listed as follows This set was produced in the immediate Postwar period as part of a matching suite of bedroom furniture. Similar to two aluminum chairs in the V&A collection W.3-2010, W.4-2010), designed by Ernest Race, it makes use of surplus materials used for the manufacture of military aircraft. This object provides a companion and a contrast to the BA3 chairs; both are British designed and made, and while the Race design would go on to become a design Classic, this table and its accompanying suite do not seem to have been a success. One of the main issues was cost: a 4ft wardrobe from the same set as this dressing table retailed in 1946 at £74 7s 10d, compared to £16 17s for a Utility equivalent. The dressing table is a British example of furniture produced using Industrial methods developed during wartime, and as such is comparable to the work in plywood of Charles and Ray Eames in the USA, although clearly it is of a more conservative taste. In terms of the condition this piece has the original period patina, it has marks and wear all-over in the form of scratches, the patina is all part of the original charm, as such I’ve left them as they are Dimensions: Height 68cm Width 46cm Depth 37.5cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses Condition: Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
