About the Item

Mid-Century Modern Italian Extending Dining Table in Macassar Ebony with Mother-of-Pearl Inlays, Retailed by Harrods, Circa 1970s Description: Elevate your dining space with this exquisite mid-century modern Italian extending dining table, a rare piece retailed through Harrods in the 1970s. Crafted entirely from Macassar ebony, the table showcases the wood’s dramatic, streaked grain in a stunning chevron veneer pattern on the circular tabletop, with its natural medium-brown tones creating a dynamic, geometric design. The edge of the tabletop and the lower section of the pedestal base are stained to a deep, almost black shade, providing a striking contrast that enhances the wood’s beauty. Delicate mother-of-pearl inlays are set into the tabletop and base, adding a touch of opulence that catches the light and elevates the table’s luxurious appeal. The pedestal base mirrors the tabletop’s chevron pattern, with a subtle mother-of-pearl inlay near the top, and is finished with a sleek black lacquered accent at the bottom for a modern touch. Measuring H76cm x W126cm x D126cm, the table extends to W166cm via a clever butterfly flip-out mechanism stored beneath the tabletop, offering versatility for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. The hidden leaf unfolds seamlessly, maintaining the table’s minimalist silhouette and chevron pattern while providing extra space when needed. The Macassar ebony’s natural and stained tones, along with the mother-of-pearl inlays, exude a timeless mid-century charm, making this piece a perfect complement to other period furniture, such as a vibrant orange leather sofa. In excellent vintage condition, the table shows minimal signs of wear including tiny scuffs, with the Macassar ebony retaining its rich patina and the mother-of-pearl inlays intact, a testament to its quality craftsmanship. Retailed through Harrods, this table reflects the luxury and exclusivity associated with the iconic London department store, which curated the finest European designs for its discerning clientele. Ideal for collectors, design enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a statement piece, this Italian dining table is ready to anchor a stylish dining room with its blend of form, function, and elegance.
