Heritage, Craftsmanship & Historical Note
A striking and unusual mid-century occasional table, dating to the 1950s. The circular top features an intricately arranged feather collage, set beneath glass, creating a richly detailed, iridescent surface alive with the natural patterning of the feathers. The circumference is finished with stud detailing, adding texture and subtle industrial character.
Raised on four tapering legs, each terminating in chrome pad feet, the table achieves both elegance and stability. Compact in form yet visually distinctive, it works equally well as a coffee table, side table, or unique decorative accent within a stylish interior.
The 1950s marked a period of bold experimentation in furniture design, as makers embraced playful materials and artistic finishes. Feather-collage tabletops, produced in small numbers, exemplified this spirit - combining craftsmanship with modern visual daring. This example perfectly captures that mid-century balance of artistry, innovation, and light-hearted luxury.
Explore Every Facet
Please study the photographs carefully; they form part of the visual record. The glass top shows only gentle, age-appropriate wear consistent with light domestic use. The feather collage beneath remains richly coloured, its natural tones highlighted by the reflective glass. Minor surface marks to the legs are visible, adding to its authentic mid-century charm.
Styling Suggestions
This distinctive table pairs beautifully with natural textures - rattan, linen, or dark timber - highlighting its iridescent tones. Use it beside a low-profile sofa, a reading chair, or as a centrepiece in a contemporary space layered with tactile materials and soft lighting. Its compact form and visual drama make it an ideal statement in both modern and eclectic interiors.
Sustainable Style
Made with quality materials and craftsmanship, this 1950s table embodies the enduring value of mid-century design. Choosing original vintage furniture reduces waste and preserves cultural heritage - a sustainable and stylish alternative to new manufacture.
