1930s James Mont Style Black Lacquer Gilt Asian Modern Chinoiserie Coffee Table

This majestic Italian marble pedestal table, defined by bold geometry and elemental poise, stands as a sculptural anchor in any refined setting. The design features two robust black-marble pedestals—each crafted with inherent veining that whispers of natural dynamics and geological depth—positioned with tailored flexibility: they can be placed closer together for an intimate feel or spaced apart to create a dramatic, architectural stance. In its versatility, the piece can transform gracefully from dining table to console table, adapting effortlessly to stylistic or spatial needs. A substantial half-inch-thick glass top floats above the pedestals with beveled edges that capture and throw light, casting luminous reflections beneath. The transparency of the glass harmonizes with the solidity of the marble, allowing the interplay of form and weight to remain visible from every angle. The glass’s restraint highlights the pedestals’ sophistication without overwhelming the design narrative. Natural wear is modest—a few gentle nicks at the marble corners—infusing the piece with character rather than diminishing its presence. The marble, polished to a sheen, still resonates with tactile luxury, while the clean transparency of the glass preserves a modernist clarity. This table transcends mere functionality—it is an architectural statement in stone and light, a post-modern interpretation of solidity and transparency. It brings to mind the legacy of pedestal design where form and utility unify seamlessly, though reimagined here with dramatic scale and material opulence. Collectors drawn to sculptural gravitas, material elegance, and flexible design will find this piece irresistible. It stands ready to elevate fine interiors, offering both presence and narrative depth—an investment in ambiance as much as in form. Vintage 1980s black and white Neo Deco dining set. The luxurious black marble pedestal base features striking white veins and fields of mystical taupe-gray. It’s almost as if a thunderstorm was captured in stone. Dynamic white bands streak through the blackness like lighting bolts in a storm darkened sky. The 1980s enjoyed an Art Deco revival which came to be known as “Neo Deco.” This dining set is a prime example of the Neo Deco zeitgeist. The graduating arches on the chair backs emulate The Chrysler Building’s crown… an Art Deco architectural icon. The marble base’s silhouette is also informed by Art Deco architecture. The table has been updated with a newer 48″ diameter round glass top. No worry of stains on these vintage white seats. The previous owner was meticulous. In fact, the chair seats were still covered in the original plastic when we acquired the set. The base itself is a work of art, beautifully exhibiting the tenants of post-modern design. It is both decorative and simple. The designer has arranged slabs of sumptuous black marble in descending size, emanating from the center. This array of slabs cumulatively form a diamond shape when viewed from the top. The dramatic, high-back, chairs have a glossy lacquer finish that captures the same sheen as the stone pedestal table base...

A sublime fusion of Asian-inspired elegance and mid-century design acuity, this pagoda-style coffee table by John Wisner for Ficks Reed embodies both form and narrative flair. Circa 1950s and conceived as part of Wisner’s iconic Far Horizons collection, the table channels the essence of East-West synthesis with its gently upturned “pagoda” handles and architectural silhouette. The table features a robust bamboo and rattan build, meticulously joined and bound in cane with twisted wrap details at every intersection. The raised mango-wood parquet-style tray surface remains original and exhibits a luminous sheen that enhances the rich warmth of the honeyed weave. Its thoughtfully elevated ends and integrated handles offer subtle sculptural lift and practical intention—perfect for serving or display. Measuring approximately 67¼ inches long, 19 inches deep, and 15 inches high, this piece commands visual presence without overwhelming proportion—an ideal centerpiece for relaxed living spaces, screened porches, or lush lounges. It remains in carefully restored, elevation-ready condition with vibrant surface tone and enduring structural integrity. Wisner’s legacy at Ficks Reed is rooted in his ability to harmonize natural materiality with modernist proportions. This pagoda form exemplifies his fascination with Eastern motifs and American refinement, rendering the piece both exotic and elegant. It continues to resonate in interiors that prize organic balance, sculptural warmth, and collectible mid-century authenticity.
