Pair of Phyllis Morris Faux Bamboo Gold Side Tables

About the Item

Presenting a fabulous pair of Phyllis Morris faux bamboo gold side tables. These side tables, although unsigned or marked, have been attributed to the famous American mid century Designer, Phyllis Morris. Made circa 1960 – 70. The bases are made of gilted metal to replicate bamboo. The tables each sit on 4 legs that slightly curved outwards at the feet. The top section has cross supports again replicating bamboo. Each table has it’s original half inch thick plate glass square top. The tables are in great condition. Some very minor loss or gilt to the legs through age and one of the glass tops has a ‘bubble’ imperfection in the glass edge which has been there from it’s origin. To find one of these is rare .. But to find a matching pair .. Near impossible!!! Phyllis Morris (born October 19, 1925 in Chicago, Illinois; died September 5, 1988 in Los Angeles, California) was an American furniture designer known for her colorful persona, her outspokenness on decorating and her distinctive furniture and interior designs, especially her large and highly decorative beds. She was often referred to by the media as the “designer to the stars.” By the time of her death, Morris had left a mark in the world of interior design in each of the four decades since the founding of her company Phyllis Morris Originals in 1953. Dimensions: With the glass tops: 15.5? Tall, 20? Wide and 20? Deep The bases are 14.75 x 17 x 17.

Early 19th Century American Sheraton Tilt-Top Table of Neat Proportions
Located in Dallas, TX
PRESENTING a GORGEOUS Early 19C American Sheraton Tilt top Table of very desirable neat proportions. Made in America, possibly New York or New England, circa 1800. Made of Walnut, cherrywood and satinwood. The table is diamond in shape and the turned tripod base and feet appear to be made of walnut. The feet have beautifully simple, pointed toe feet …. ‘classic’ examples of ‘period’ American side tables of this Era! The square platform, attaching to the top to the base, has a brass catch/latch insert, with a ‘period’ brass button clasp on the underside of the table top, for the tilting mechanism. The square table top, itself, appears to be mainly cherry wood for the central square section, which in turn is then encased in a walnut square border and edged with a beautifully patinated striped satinwood. The central diamond on the table top is likewise a striped/burl satinwood of very high quality, edged with boxwood. There is a visible crack on the top and it appears that at some stage in its history, someone turned the table top 90 degrees, so that the baton supports underneath would support the weakened section with the crack. We have no doubt, however, that the top is original to the base and not a ‘marriage’, as the line (as one can see in the photos) on the base of the top where the batons were previously located perfectly matches the existing batons. The table is very ‘stable’ but the top (once locked in the down position) has a very slight lean towards the repaired cracked section. This is not significant and does not detract from the beauty and utility of this piece. We have, however, reflected these repairs, etc. in our pricing. It is also obvious, that the table was ‘always’ diamond shaped. It is the use of the cherry and walnut, coupled with the toe feet, that tells us, that this is ‘unmistakably’ an American Sheraton piece. Provenance: From an Outstanding Private Dallas Collection. Condition: Very good. See the full listing (above) for more detail on minor defects. Dimensions: 26.75 inches tall with top down, The table top is 17.2 inches x 17.8 inches With the top tilted it is 39.25 inches Tall and has a depth/width at the feet of 19.75 inches. Sheraton is a late 18th century neoclassical English furniture...
