Mid-Century Walnut Coffee Table w/ Kidney Glass Top by Forest Wilson, c. 1960s
Located in Deland, FL
Introducing an iconic sculptural coffee table by Forest Wilson. Featuring intricately carved solid walnut legs that borrow from fluid forms found in nature, it’s almost as if Wilson is contouring the beams of walnut back to their original shape as tree branches. The kidney-shaped, thick-cut glass top, though likely not original, is an excellent addition and harkens back to the Atomic era of American Modern Design. Wilson’s signature aluminum caps conceal the joining hardware.
Perfect for designers searching for an authentic, vintage Forest Wilson table this paradigmatic piece can blend against a myriad of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Boho Chic to Contemporary. With iconic lines, superb woodgrains and a vintage kidney-shaped top this coffee table is sure to make a BOLD impression in any space it inhabits. Make it yours today and add the perfect design accent to your home or office before it's gone forever.
---Dimensions---
Width: 47 in / 119.38 cm
Depth: 43 in / 109.22 cm
Height: 15 in / 38.1 cm
Save for a minor repair this iconic coffee table by Forest Wilson is in original, vintage condition and has aged to perfection! A small corner of one of the legs cracked and has been repaired which can be seen in the detail photos provided. With that said there are no scratches, gouges or other damage present whatsoever and the woodgrains are absolutely stunning in natural light.
The atomic era kidney-shaped glass top, though likely not the original, is in very good shape showing only surface scratches (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos provided) but showing no cracks, chips or other damage whatsoever.
This paradigmatic coffee table is functional, structurally sound and ready for a lifetime more of use. Please view all photos for details on this Forest Wilson coffee table...

Antique, New and Vintage Coffee Tables and Cocktail Tables
As a practical focal point in your living area, antique and vintage coffee tables and cocktail tables are an invaluable addition to any interior.
Low tables that were initially used as tea tables or coffee tables have been around since at least the mid- to late-1800s. Early coffee tables surfaced in Victorian-era England, likely influenced by the use of tea tables in Japanese tea gardens. In the United States, furniture makers worked to introduce low, long tables into their offerings as the popularity of coffee and “coffee breaks” took hold during the late 19th century and early 20th century.
It didn’t take long for coffee tables and cocktail tables to become a design staple and for consumers to recognize their role in entertaining no matter what beverages were being served. Originally, these tables were as simple as they are practical — as high as your sofa and made primarily of wood. In recent years, however, metal, glass and plastics have become popular in coffee tables and cocktail tables, and design hasn’t been restricted to the conventional low profile, either.
Visionary craftspeople such as Paul Evans introduced bold, geometric designs that challenge the traditional idea of what a coffee table can be. The elongated rectangles and wide boxy forms of Evans’s desirable Cityscape coffee table, for example, will meet your needs but undoubtedly prove imposing in your living space.
If you’re shopping for an older coffee table to bring into your home — be it an antique Georgian-style coffee table made of mahogany or walnut with decorative inlays or a classic square mid-century modern piece comprised of rosewood designed by the likes of Ettore Sottsass — there are a few things you should keep in mind.
Both the table itself and what you put on it should align with the overall design of the room, not just by what you think looks fashionable in isolation. According to interior designer Tamara Eaton, the material of your vintage coffee table is something you need to consider. “With a glass coffee table, you also have to think about the surface underneath, like the rug or floor,” she says. “With wood and stone tables, you think about what’s on top.”
Find the perfect centerpiece for any room, no matter what your personal furniture style on 1stDibs. Browse a vast selection of antique, new and vintage coffee table and cocktail tables today.
