Vintage Live Edge Redwood Burl Slab and Root Coffee Table, c. 1970
About the Item
An exceptionally handsome and well-crafted circa 1970 live edge California redwood burl slab coffee table with redwood limb and root base.
Expansive two-and-a-half-inch-thick old growth redwood burl slab top with a striking shape and fantastic figuring throughout. Notable for the peninsula-like element on one end that extends from a sheltered “cove”. Subtle satin finish brings out the natural character and warm gradient tones of the wood, with the interplay between linear and curly grain patterns on display to dynamic effect.
Mounted on an organically complex base comprised of a dense and gnarled old growth redwood limb and root cluster. Various textures, shapes, voids, and peepholes remind one of the craggy cliff faces and caves of the driftwood-strewn northern California coast. Majority of the base has a semi-gloss finish that matches the edges of the top.
Entire piece has a wonderfully sculptural presence that’s visually engaging from every angle. Top and base are perfectly paired, with their forms, proportions, and coloration being in uncommonly attractive, mutually complimentary balance. Both exhibit signs of possibly having survived a fire, with blackened edges on the top and blackened surfaces and charred-like superficial fracturing on the base.
Expert craftsmanship is evident throughout, including in areas not readily apparent. Underside of top is exactingly routered to fit snugly on a cutout plywood board mounted to the base, allowing the two parts to be securely joined or separated without the use of hardware or tools.
Underside of base reveals that a compound was applied to make it more uniform and to increase its structural integrity, with nylon glides making it easier to move around. Lighter colored compound is slightly visible from a few angles when the table is in use, but could be camouflaged with a touch of paint at the discretion of its future owner.
