End Table with Walnut Burl Veneer
About the Item
A fine Hungarian side table in the French Art Deco style. The book-matched wood grain is Hungarian walnut.
Though French Art Deco is much more famous, Hungarian furniture makers eagerly embraced the Art Deco style of the 1920's and 1930's. After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian empire in 1918, Hungarian artisans looked for new models rooted in modernism. No style better expressed the spirit of the modern age better than Art Deco, with its smooth, flowing lines and lack of unnecessary ornament. Since the Hungarians had already mastered the art of using book-matched veneers since the Biedermeier period of the early 1800's, they had no difficulty mastering the new Deco designs.
Today a few old and established workshops remain, still making high quality, mostly Art Deco-influenced designs. This elegant table with its slender legs and glossy book-matched burl top is a modern interpretation of an original 1930's design. It is surprisingly heavy, owing to the density of the hardwood (walnut) legs and top. it makes a wonderful side table in a contemporary home.

15"H x 18"D x 18"W
At a time when many furniture makers were turning to cheaper materials for mass production, mid-century modern designer John Keal didn't shy away from utilizing quality woods in his work, like mahogany and walnut to create his coffee tables, cabinets and benches.
While little is known about Keal, he was part of a powerhouse group that collaborated with Los Angeles furniture manufacturer Brown-Saltman in the 1940s and ‘50s. Other designers who had partnered with the firm during the mid-20th century included Greta Magnusson Grossman, Paul Frankl, Paul Laszlo, and Gilbert Rohde, a New York City-born designer who would help legendary Michigan furniture manufacturer Herman Miller avert financial disaster during the Great Depression.
Brown-Saltman was established in 1923 and initially specialized in reproductions of furniture in period styles. When cofounder David Saltman met Frankl, the firm had discontinued its Early California collection and was producing modern furniture.
Keal’s work also fit snugly into what we now call California modernism, which derived from the Bauhaus and International Style movements, and revolutionized the way we build homes today, not only in the Golden State but across the globe. Keal created sleek end tables...
