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.

This classic piece of eastern influenced modern American design boasts beautifully sculpted bamboo and rattan with wrapped binder cane joints. The honey colored parquet style woven raffia tray...
