1950s Walter Lamb For Pacific Iron Architectural Coffee Table Frame, Attributed

Chairish

$1,950

Rare mid-century modern architectural coffee table frame designed in the manner of Walter Lamb for Pacific Iron Products Co. (Los Angeles), circa 1950s. This listing is for the engineered iron frame only, allowing the buyer to easily source fresh clear or custom hammered glass locally while saving significantly on freight shipping costs. Unmarked (as is typical for Pacific Iron pieces of this era that relied on paper or foil labels), this piece features the definitive, documented construction methods of high-end early postwar California design: The Silhouette: Features an iconic, stepped angular leg profile that anchors any mid-century modern space. The Construction: Showcases a highly specific hybrid manufacturing approach. The top perimeter track is crafted from heavy-gauge solid iron to provide a substantial visual profile, while the lower structural base utilizes hollow tubular iron. This exact technical signature was utilized to optimize weight without compromising structural integrity. An exceptional piece for serious enthusiasts of California Modernism, Salterini, Woodard, and radical postwar American design. Condition Good original, un-refinished condition. Unmarked iron frame only; glass insert is not included. The structure retains its beautiful original dark, naturally weathered finish with minor surface oxidation and honest finish wear consistent with age and outdoor/indoor history. Structurally solid, square, and completely stable with a level glass-retaining track. Dimensions 48"W x 19"D x 15.5"H
