Made in the 1970s, this iconic “AE” table was designed by architect and engineer Cedric Hartman (b 1929). In the beginning of his career, he made a name for himself with the iconic 1UWV floor lamp, but soon became known for extremely high production quality and exacting precision comparable to dedicated engineering firms. This piece is no different. The bronze base is complemented by a finely textured thin green marble top, adding a layer of visual depth. The bronze has a beautiful aged natural patina presenting in a soft luster. The frame could be restored and polished to a shiny finish, but we prefer the patinated coloring only made possible by 50+ years of exposure. You cannot find another table for sale online currently with this color table top-truly a rare find! The components of the base are completely solid metal with precision machined components and attachment points. No expense was spared on production. On top of the timeless visual appeal of this table, the build makes this an absolute tank in the world of turniture, having sustained a half-century of use with next to zero damage. It could easily last until your children have children and beyond with minimal care. Made in America and signed below with serial number. This table has been (seldom used) in the same pet-free, smoke-feee residence since it was purchased new. Table will be shipped with top disconnected and wrapped separately from base.
