A Glass Table, Pittsburgh Plate Glass, 1930s

About the Item

This is an iconic art deco design in glass manufactured by Pittsburgh Plate Glass believed to have been included in the Glass House for the 1939 World's Fair hosted by New York City in Flushing Meadow, Queens. This is a rare piece and the craftsmanship is unmistakable. All of the glass is original to the design and includes the glass top at 1" thick and the glass legs created by two glass slabs that are .75" thick. The brass fittings are 2.5" in diameter and add detail to the table. This table is an icon of Art Deco design and though now common place, at the time the use of glass for furniture was a totally new concept. The brass fittings have been re-plated and are like new. The 1939 Worlds Fair theme was City of Tomorrow and all of the displays played to the modern city of tomorrow.
