Percival Lafer Folding Rosewood Cocktail Tables, a Pair, 1970s

Step into a world where sophistication meets whimsy, where glamour reigns supreme, and ordinary becomes extraordinary with our dazzling pair of cocktail tables straight from the groovy era of the 1970s. These are the epitome of retro chic—a dynamic duo of onyx cubes that exude an aura of opulence and flair. Two gorgeous cubes, each measuring 20 inches by 20 inches and standing at 16.5 inches, poised to steal the spotlight in any room they grace. They're comprised of onyx adorned with a mesmerizing herringbone pattern, a symphony of lines and angles that dance across their sleek surfaces like whispers of bygone decadence. Resting upon their original castor wheels, these tables are not just furniture—they're mobile marvels, ready to glide across your space with effortless grace and panache. Whether you're hosting a soirée or simply lounging in style, these tables are here to ensure that convenience meets couture at every turn. Imagine the scene: a cocktail party in full swing, laughter floating on the air, glasses clinking in joyful harmony. And there, at the heart of it all, are these glamorous onyx cubes, basking in the glow of admiration and adoration. They're more than just tables—they're conversation starters, centerpieces of intrigue that beckon guests to gather 'round and revel in their splendor. These cocktail tables would look fabulous with other Hollywood glam type furniture-- they're currently in our gallery alongside a Gabreilla Crespi coffee table, as wekk as a Karl Springer goatskin credenza and a Pierre Cardin...

Feast your eyes on this ultra-chic, vintage 1970s gem! This stunning coffee table is a true conversation starter, flaunting a mesmerizing herringbone pattern crafted from real onyx tiles...

This coffee table is absolutely gorgeous. Consisting of two circular bases, clad in brass with a free form / biomorphic black tinted glass top, this coffee table is jaw droppingly gorgeous. The free form glass top floats like a cloud on top of the two rounded bases, and the bases can be situated in a number of ways beneath the black tinted glass. This coffee table brings that 1970's glamour like none other. Very evocative of Karl Springer's free-form coffee tables, this large coffee table would look incredible in any Mid-Century Modern, modern, or glam environment. Juxtapose the Vladimir Kagan cloud sofa, this coffee table not only holds its own, it makes a bold, glamorous statement. We currently have this piece in the gallery paired with a Karl Springer goatskin credenza, a Vladimir Kagan sofa and Paul Evans lounge chairs...

Looking for a coffee table that’s more than just furniture-- well this is a functional work of art. This Paul Evans original is a stunning example of mid-century artistry with a flair for the unconventional. Handcrafted from a mesmerizing patchwork of patinated copper, enameled steel, and pewter sheeting, this table brings together materials and textures in ways that no two tables are alike. And then there’s the slate top—thick, heavy, and sitting flush in its groove like it was meant to be there from the beginning of time. While there are other examples of this coffee table floating around the collector's universe, let me tell you: they’re not all created equal. Many show signs of over-polishing or even sanding, stripping away that rich, sought-after patina that true collectors drool over. But this example? It’s the gold standard. The patina has aged to perfection, offering a rich variety of tones, textures, and colors that dance across the surface. Every corner reveals a new surprise. Yes, the slate top has a few rough edges, but let’s be real—that only adds to its character. And the best part? The slate fits so perfectly into its base so snug you'd be hard pressed to squeeze a sheet of paper between them. Now, let’s talk about the man behind the magic—Paul Evans. Born in 1931 and passing away in 1987, Evans was a driving force in the American Craft Movement. He pushed the boundaries of furniture design, turning traditional techniques on their head and creating pieces that were part sculpture, part functional art. His use of metal, especially in his iconic Cityscape and Sculpted Bronze series, made him a trailblazer of mid-century modernism and brutalist design. Evans started his career working with metal in a tiny shop in New Hope, Pennsylvania with his pal Phillip Lloyd Powell—just down the road from fellow American Craft legends like George Nakashima. But Evans didn’t stop with wood and craft traditions. Instead, he worked with metal in ways no one else was doing, blending industrial and handmade aesthetics. Every piece was unique, handmade, and bursting with Evans' signature rough-hewn, heavily textured style. His work, especially these patchwork metal tables...
