André Kulesza Architect. Unique Light Table, Wrought Iron, Glass Crystals 1960s
Located in leucate, FR
Exceptional light coffee table by the architect André Kulesza, hammered wrought iron and polychrome stained glass crystals. The fragments of glass crystals have been carefully selected and combined harmoniously to represent an abstract design. The glass crystals are fixed on reinforced glass and protected by a window which acts as a table top. the base is reminiscent of a spider, the 4 feet merge in the center and under the glass crystals to support the light diffuser. Incredible work of art. The architect André Kulesza (1913 - 2012) known as the Polish Le Corbusier, carried out this unique production in parallel with the construction of the Polish church in Lens (city in the north of France) of which he was the architect, to commemorate the thousand years of Christianity in Poland. This table is like a masterpiece. Height: 18.11 inch / 46 cm Width: 24.21 inch / 61.5 cm Length: 24.21 inch / 61.5 cm Good condition. circa 1966 The passionate life of André Kulesza, patriot and architect. André Olgierd Kulesza passed away in February 2012, at the age of 89. If the name of this Valdericourtian doesn't mean anything to you, his architectural achievements are certainly not unknown, mainly in the north of France. The town center of Noyelles-lès-Vermelles, buildings in Noeux-les-Mines, the Ephad (accommodation establishment for dependent elderly people) in Sailly-Labourse or Violaines, the Millenium church in Lens and many more Other achievements in France and around the world have marked the career of this Polish immigrant whose destiny was shaken by History. It must be said that André O. Kulesza already had unusual parents. His mother, from the Polish nobility having lost part of her family massacred by the Bolsheviks in 1917 and taking refuge with her aunt in Poznan, attended Paderewski, Marie Curie and became a painter; in 1919, speaking excellent French, she worked for the French military mission in Warsaw and a young captain named Charles De Gaulle. Later, she would be a member of the Polish Resistance...

Napoleon III Algerian Onyx-Marble Centre Table, by Maison Marnyhac
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
A Napoleon III gilt-bronze and onyx centre table, By Maison Marnyhac, Paris. Signed to the edge of the stretcher 'MAISON MARNYHAC 1. RUE DE LA PAIX PARIS'. This opulent centre table has a beautifully patterned onyx top inset within stiff-leaf cast gilt-bronze border and guilloche patterned frieze. The legs modelled as female terms with arms crossed and holding atop their heads flower filled baskets. The lower part of the legs are formed as tapering pilasterrs joined by an elaborate loop stretcher with central platform. France, Circa 1865 This table is exemplary of the finest luxury furniture made during the opulent Second Empire period. The use of Algerian onyx-marble is especially indicative of this period as it was not until the 1840s that the quarries near Constantine in Algeria, then under French rule, which had been abandoned since antiquity, were rediscovered. Alphonse Pallu et Cie presented the stone at the Exhibition of Algerian Products in Paris in 1860 and established the Compagnie des Marbres Onyx...

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.
