Mid-Century Modern Sculptural Driftwood Glass Planter Insert Coffee Center Table
Located in Thiensville, WI
Truly unique and one-of-a-kind driftwood coffee center table with planter inserts. Nature surely delivers some beautiful artwork, such as this sculpted wood base. The shape mimics that of two separate tree trunks with their entangled root bases. The strong base is realized with a 3/8 inch oval shaped glass top, customized with planter inserts which are fixed into each of the tree trunk stems. The planter inserts have metal spikes at the bottom to allow for secured placement of faux plants. Spike plates can be removed. You have the option to add a small pot or vase within both planter openings, or plant into the customized metal pots directly. Glass can be removed by lifting upward, in which metal pots are lifted and removed as well. Metal pots are what keep the glass secure to the driftwood base. We showcased 2 separate plant ideas for reference only; plants are not included in the purchase.
The movement and fusion of this driftwood adds a very natural and organic feel to any design. Coupled with the ability to customize your own style of plants with the inserts makes this table an adaptable show piece.

Steampunk Industrial Copper Timpani Kettle Drum Center Table by WFL Drum Co
By Ludwig Drums
Located in Topeka, KS
Awesome vintage steampunk Industrial or rustic copper kettle drum center table by W.F.L. Drum Company. Comprised of copper painted aluminum arms & base, copper kettle, drum skin top with painted steel rim, and chrome handles. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. This has an overall aged patina that is superb and consists of dings, dents, scratches, etc. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1937-1950’s.
Everyone dances to the beat of their own drum, it’s what makes the world go ‘round! But let me tell you something… You are about to BUST A MOVE when you lay eyes on this INCREDIBLE copper kettle drum, we are offering as a REAL drum table, by W.F.L. Drum Company!!! AAAAHHHHH!! IT. IS. AWESOME!!! Its exclusive style borders between Industrial, steampunk, and a bit rustic. It is center table height, and it is comprised of a copper kettle surrounded by copper painted aluminum base, arms, and foot pedal and a fabulous drum skin top with a painted steel rim and vertical chrome handles. A fun fact… W.F.L. Drum Company was established by William F. Ludwig and a MONUMENTAL moment for Ludwig was on a Sunday night in February 1964 “The Beatles” preformed “All My Loving” as the intro song on “The Ed Sullivan Show” as Ringo Starr jammed out on his iconic drums which bared the Ludwig logo! Sheer popularity pandemonium for Ludwig after that! This is the ULTIMATE must-have for a music enthusiast or drum lover!!! How awesome would this be displayed in a music room in a corner between a couple of chairs holding a record player and set of vinyl, in a game room as a lamp table, or just an entertaining way to display your Beatles or Ringo Starr memorabilia? We think it would be fun to put a piece of glass either directly on top of the drum OR float the glass on the chrome handles and give it a floating effect! There are just TOO many fun possibilities with this especially unique find!

Elegant and original table in octagonal parchment leather, linear, distinct and well finished, the table from the end of the last century has a very strong character but at the same time its design makes it very light.
The table has an octagonal top, it has also been completely covered in goatskin; Well polished and finished, the top shines with the veins of the leather, with a very warm and welcoming color for the eye, it is perfect as a center table but does not disdain as a dining table. Its leg, central as can be seen, is also octagonal in shape and entirely covered in goatskin; only in the final part does it have a border along the entire perimeter lacquered in black. The top is dismountable, so two small individual boxes can be made for transport.

Rene Drouet

Antique and Vintage Center Tables
An alluring sitting area doesn’t have to be in the exact center of the room, but an antique or vintage center table is a great tool to partition off such an area.
By definition, a center table is a piece of furniture that is placed in the center of a room. Initially these appeared in the foyer or entryway before making their way into the living room. While one might keep seating furniture such as sofas against the walls to avoid limiting movement and closing off space, a center table in the living room can fill this central space without restricting the flow of the room.
One of the purposes of a center table is to anchor the rest of the furniture. It draws the eye to a specific area and invites guests to sit down. When thinking about how you’ll arrange your furniture, a good rule of thumb is to set tables an arm’s length away from seating. For instance, place a coffee table about 18 inches from a sofa so that it is within reach but not too close. In more modern layouts, tables are sometimes placed to the side to leave a large open area for foot traffic.
Because of its central position, a center table is one of the first things people will notice when entering a room. It’s important to consider how a center table can add to a room, as it’s a crucial element for defining the feel and theme of a room. Some center tables are mainly for decor, while others can be a great place to sit around over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Center tables are perfect for displaying decorative objects, floral arrangements, books or a cluster of prized antique vases given the prominent position of your table and the attention it will get.
The clean lines and organic forms that we typically associate with mid-century modern center tables means that they will bring a dose of sophistication to a space, and examples from the era can be found in square and round shapes. Wood tables were popular with furniture makers of the period, but versions in glass and marble are also widely available. Because Art Deco designers frequently incorporated ornamental embellishments such as exotic animal hides and veneers in their seating, case pieces and other furniture, your Art Deco center table will likely make a strong statement in any room. Alternatively, if you’re searching for something small and unassuming, Regency tables could be an option for your space.
