A mid‑century modern side table from France dating to the 1970s, in gold brass with a glass top and transparent column legs, measuring 60 cm wide, 40 cm high and 60 cm deep, in good used condition with minor signs of age.
Description from the seller
It's a 1970s coffee table that exudes that theatrical, elegant glow so typical of Hollywood Regency, reinterpreted with a seventies twist: luminous materials, clean lines, and a constant play between transparency and gold. The structure combines golden brass — warm, reflective, with that soft radiance that defines the era's glamour — with a glass top that adds visual lightness and lets light pass through the piece unobstructed.
The legs in the form of transparent columns, probably lucite or acrylic, are the most characteristic gesture of the design: evoking classical architecture reinterpreted in a modern key, a nod to the columns of cinematic interiors but translated into a contemporary and almost ethereal language. That transparency, combined with the golden metal, creates a sophisticated contrast that makes the table seem to float, supported by elements that capture and diffuse light.
The lower frame in curved brass adds stability and a discreet ornamental touch, maintaining the balance between functionality and decorative fantasy. Taken together, the piece embodies that seventies spirit where luxury was luminous, accessible, and designed to transform any corner into a small domestic stage.
A table that blends vintage glamour, iconic materials, and elegant geometry, perfect for interiors seeking a bright, sculptural accent.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
